When selecting the entire screen using the video SDK to share the screen on the web, the shared content is displayed repeatedly, and there is a problem with the display. The same is true for the Zoom Video SDK UI toolkit, how can I fix this?  
Expect to inspire me.

It is shown below:

@freda199594 This is the expected behaviour when sharing your entire screen.  
If you want to avoid the “infinity mirror effect” when screensharing make sure you focus a different window or share a screen different than the one displaying the video session.

How can I make sure that I focus on a different window or share a different screen than the window in which the video session is displayed? Is there any documentation?  
Thank you.
