Have you ever tried to share your screen in a video call or presentation only to find that your monitor is missing from the share menu? I had found this problem when I was using Microsoft Teams with the Microsoft Edge Browser.

The problem is often caused by the HDR option being enabled in your browser settings and in your operating system. To fix it, simply disable the HDR option in both places and you should see your monitor reappear in the share menu.

Here’s how to disable HDR in the most popular browsers:

Google Chrome

1. Open Chrome and click on the three dots in the upper-right corner
2. Go to Settings
3. Scroll down to the System section and toggle off the Use hardware acceleration when available option

Mozilla Firefox

1. Open Firefox and click on the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner
2. Go to Options
3. In the General panel, scroll down to the Performance section
4. Uncheck Use recommended performance settings
5. Check Use hardware acceleration when available

Microsoft Edge

1. Open Edge and click on the three dots in the upper-right corner
2. Go to Settings
3. Scroll down to the System section and toggle off the Use hardware acceleration when available option

Disable HDR in Windows:

1. Right-click on the Windows desktop and select Display settings
2. Scroll down to the HDR and advanced color settings section
3. Toggle off the Turn on HDR and advanced color setting

By following these steps, you should be able to see your monitor in the share menu and continue with your video call or presentation without any further issues.

In conclusion, if you’re facing the issue of missing monitor in the share menu, disabling the HDR option in both your browser settings and Windows is the quickest and most effective solution.
