Can you please make sure that this is account level? @ahmed.shalaby241  
In your Admin Tab \> Account Management \> Account Settings \> In meeting (Basic)  
And enable Screen sharing setting and make sure to allow this for All participants

Hey @surajsjarali98  
I do not believe so, you would have to do that via the Webportal
