Today we noticed that when in a Teams meeting on a Google Pixel phone running the latest Android 14 OS, we are unable to use the Screen Share option in a meeting.

The error message “Action Blocked. This action is not allowed by your organization.” pops up after choosing to screen sharing.

Those with this issue are able to share individual pictures, just not cast their entire screen to Teams.

This led me to believe that one of our application protection policies was blocking this feature from working, but there is no such setting to enable.  The closest one is related to screen capture and I have that allowed.

Those with Samsung Android phones with the latest Android OS 14 are successfully able to Screen Share, so its not any policy we have related to android phones.

iPhones are also successfully able to screen share from Teams without any issues.

I did also check our global policy settings for meeting and content sharing is allowed.  Content sharing is also allowed for the specific meeting we tested in.

If anyone else has a Google Pixel phone with the latest version of android on it, please let me know if you are experiencing the same problems with sharing your screen in a Teams Meeting.
