[Windows] With multiple monitors, viewers see the wrong monitor shared

I've seen the same bug reported and marked Complete, but they were Mac & Linux. This is intermittent - sometimes when I share monitor 1, viewer sees monitor 2. Sharing monitor 2, viewer sees monitor 3. Sharing monitor 3, user sees monitor 1. Start/Stop sharing or quit & restart Pop doesn't help. The monitor set up did not change between a working session and one where the problem appeared.

My team is seeing this consistently when using a Windows laptop with an external monitor. When both the laptop screen and the monitor are visible, it always seems to share/draw on the opposite screen of what is expected.

I am experiencing the same issue on Windows 11 with a 3 monitor setup. Sometime it works, but most of the time it doesn't.

We're having trouble with this today. All machines are Windows 10. The presenter is on a laptop with two external monitors attached. When they select a monitor to share, the remote users see the wrong monitor. Like the OP, the problem isn't resolved by stop/start sharing or quit/restart or even logout/login.

Jim Ivey: We're having the same issue, also with Windows 10 laptop and a secondary screen connected. When one screen is shared, the viewers see the other screen.
Turning off one monitor and starting to share can be a hotfix for this problem. After the sharing started, the other screen(s) can be turned on again.
However this is not a real solution and it's really inconvenient.
