Screen flicker when sharing Vensim on MS teams

I use MS Teams regularly and when I (or my colleague) show the Vensim window to others on the call, under "show screen", the image flickers badly. This makes sharing models impossible through MS Teams. You can always copy the diagram into a file, but we want to show the model live.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?
Thanks

I think that's a question for the MS teams folks, seems a regularly searched term on the web.

Thanks. Will try the fix they suggest. I haven't seen it with other programmes so thought it might be Vensim related.

I have the same problem and I think I found a solution, at least it works for me.
When sharing a screen, Teams gives two options: share the entire screen or only the window of an application; for example Vensim. If the entire screen is shared the flickering does not occur, although Vensim occupies the entire screen.
Solution: share the full screen and not a Vensim window.

Weird. I've shared Vensim both as app and full screen on Zoom, Webex, Gotomeeting and BlueJeans without any issues, so there must be something odd about Teams. Glad there's a workaround.

I tried starting Vensim as administrator and this has fixed the flicker. Can now present models live. yay!
