How to fix “Error : can't share your screen” with Google Meet in Google Chrome Browser?

Super User Asked by abhisek on December 13, 2021

I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with operating system loaded Windows 8.1 Pro and using Google Chrome version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit). I am able to use Hangouts / Google Meet / Google Chat for chat, video & audio call, as well as joining meetings. For some reason, I’m unable to share my screen using Google Meet.

I have tried with other Mozilla FireFox and I am able to share my screen but not with Google Chrome. While sharing screen it throws the following error:

Can’t share your screen. Sorry, an error has occurred when screen sharing

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I am attaching screen shots as well for better understanding of my issue.

Run Chrome as Administrator and go to your meeting. Click on site settings from the icon before the url and allow all the settings.

I am working allot with GoogleMeet and never encountered it. I would suggest you try to reset the browser / try incognito, and if that fails, try another browser.

If all of that doesn't work you could try to share program instead, as a temporary fix until the end of the presentation.
