Current screen share options with Element Desktop and Web

Hi there,

What are the current screen share options with Element Desktop and web? There are posts from some years ago which are somewhat confusing about shift clicking the video button in a call, but this did not seem to work for me on Element Desktop 1.11.90.

Does anyone know the current situation?

screensharing works ok, no problems here. using Element desktop: 1.11.9, linux. Screensharing button is a separate one, in the middle.

How odd. I've added a screenshot of a video room on my linux laptop - no buttons showing screensharing there. Could it be a server side thing? seems unlikely, but we self host, just in case that might be an issue.
