Code 1135

Category: Screen share

Message shown in BigBlueButton

Code {errorCode}. Could not share the screen. Try again using a different browser or device.

What it means

No screen, window or tab was available to capture. (NotFoundError)

Likely causes

  • Browser or OS limitation

What to do

First, check who is affected.

  1. Only one or a few users: most likely a problem on the user's side, so follow the Student and Teacher steps.
  2. Everyone in one room: check that room/meeting (settings, meeting ended or recreated, room limits).
  3. Everyone in every room: most likely a server problem, so go to the Admin/server steps.

Students

When the browser asks what to share, pick a screen, window or tab and click Share (not Cancel). Try again with a different browser or device. On macOS, allow your browser in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording.

Teachers

Stop sharing and start screen sharing again. If it repeats, share from another browser or computer. Share the list of supported browsers (Chrome 87+, Firefox 80+, Edge 85+, Safari 14+) in your invitation.

Server admins

Run sudo bbb-conf --clean, then sudo bbb-conf --watch while reproducing the error to see log errors live. Collect logs with sudo bbb-conf --zip and ask on the bigbluebutton-setup group if the cause is unclear.
