Ubuntu 20 Microsoft Teams Unable to Share Screen or Black Screen on Share

Issue: On Ubuntu 20, when I tried to share my screen on  Microsoft Teams  (MS Teams), I didn't get the option to pick a window at all. Basically, we do "Share Screen" and then pick a window we want to share. Here, I could click on "Share Screen", but there are no windows to share. Solution:   This is because of Wayland environment. You have to use another environment and it will work fine. To choose another environment, come over to your login screen and check for that small wheel at the bottom right. You can see "Ubuntu" and "Wayland". Choose "Ubuntu" and you are done. This solution will also help if you have a case where you can share the screen but end up with a black screen and visible mouse pointer. Happy Meetings!

Ubuntu 20 - Launcher / Dock in Center - Auto Hide - Appear on Hover

To enable Launcher / Dock as we know to have the following effects Appear on Hover i.e. Auto Hide Icons in center Do as follows... First we need to enable the following options in Settings -> Appearance Even after this my launcher / dock icons were shifting to the left After this, the dock will now hide and appear when you hover your cursor on the bottom area. However, that gets irritating quickly, if you tend to have work at the bottom of the screen and the bar keeps popping up. Well, one could just stop 'Auto Hide' of the bar, and that would solve it. But... where's the beauty in it ;) ! Now, to unleash the beauty to the fullest! , we want to center the icons as well! To get them to the center, we need to do the following from the terminal gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock extend-height false And, there it is <3 !
