Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. be in a fullscreen call
2. click on screensharing

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
- the screen sharing modal comes up
- clicking multiple times only creates one screen sharing modal

#### What happened instead?
- the screen sharing modal is hidden in the background behind the fullscreen call, prompting to click again
- there is one modal per click (in the background)
- i realize this is the electron sharing dialogue at work here, but this is unacceptable UX for your app
