Description

To start a screen share I just have to click on the "screen sharing" button. But if I want to disable it and click again the button I get this popup:

I can see the reason for another step to confirm that you really want to stop the screen sharing in order to avoid to disable it by accident. But I don't understand the "Show your screen" action because it does noting when I click it. A "switch screen" might make sense to select another window, otherwise I would just remove it.

Research direction

Start at the screen-sharing button and its confirmation popup in the frontend, and reproduce the behavior when clicking the button while sharing. Confirm the intended action for the "Show your screen" option, then verify that the popup no longer offers a non-functional action or provides a working way to switch screens.
