How can I share my screen via Skype 5.3? The “+” menu contains only two item: adding another communication participant and changing the audio and video settings. Nothing about screen sharing. Is this feature still not implemented? This would be very bad, as screen sharing is crucial for me, and Skype 4.3 will stop working in 3 days.

"Skype for Linux Beta currently lacks the support for group video calling and outgoing screen sharing. We are working hard to add these features for you as soon as possible."

From Skype.com.

Teamviewer is a good screen sharing app IME but has had security issues. AnyDesk is recommended on alternativeto.net.

Can you guys confirm Skype still doesn't support desktop sharing? Does Google Hangouts support desktop sharing? – rpmcruz Oct 24 '17 at 9:55
