Teams on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 - GPU Acceleration issue

[Davit2005]

Hi All,

Been running a Ubuntu 20.04 as a home daily driver for a good few months. One of the issues I have is that I cannot have anyone control my screen whilst sharing. Give Control option is greyed out and It reports GPU Hardware Acceleration disabled but from what I have found it isn't.

 

The check box in Teams is un-checked for Disable GPU Hardware acceleration and running the command glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" comes back with direct rendering: Yes

 

Also have issue with Zoom which does not seem to run at all but that is of less importance and I can get around that quite easily.

Unless it's been done recently I don't think it's even enabled in the Linux client still. There was a bodge to get the one-way Linux->Windows option, but nothing allowing you to give control Windows->Linux

 

The uservoice seems to suggest it's not been added yet:

Yeah looked like a hack to do Linux to Windows but not other way and the thread has been going for over a year.
