I’m experiencing issues with screen sharing in Safari 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7) on Mac. When trying to share my screen, recipients cannot see it and receive an OPERATION\_TIMEOUT error. This appears to be related to SharedArrayBuffer being disabled in our site settings, which we cannot enable due to security requirements. Same issue with the Offical demo site. The specific details: - Browser: Safari 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7) - OS: macOS - Issue: Screen sharing fails with OPERATION\_TIMEOUT error - Root cause: SharedArrayBuffer is disabled - Constraint: Cannot enable SharedArrayBuffer due to security policy Has anyone found a workaround for this situation that doesn’t require enabling SharedArrayBuffer? Any alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated. ---

Hey @Betil Thanks for your feedback. Could you share some problematic session IDs with us for troubleshooting purposes? Thanks Vic ---

Hey Vic, Thanks for your reply. The sessionID is “z17zTBJyQeG/JHq1Z7tZUg==”. I have tested it on the latest Safari version and encountered the same issue. Additionally, I cannot see my own camera feed (it shows as gray), although the other party can see me. The official UIToolkit demo works fine on the latest Safari version, but the VideoSDK doesn’t. ---

Hey @Betil I’m sorry for not updating you right away. We are still working on reproducing this issue. However, we have already released a WebRTC-based audio/video version (2.1.0), which can improve video issues. Could you upgrade and give it a try? > **[Version 2.1.0 - Zoom Developers](https://developers.zoom.us/changelog/video-sdk/web/2.1.0/)** > > The Video SDK for web version 2.1.0 adds WebRTC to Zoom’s real-time media stack to support an even wider range of devices and use cases. Thanks Vic ---

Hi Vic, We’ve updated the SDK, but the issues persist. Additionally, we’ve discovered several other related problems. I’ve documented all these issues in detail in this topic: “safari-permissions-and-media-sharing-issues-without-sharedarraybuffer-enabled/124043” Please check there for a complete overview of the current situation. ---

I’m encountering the same issue and i have SharedArrayBuffer enabled. Also on version 2.1.0 (it was happening on the previous version too) ---
