Description
Steps to reproduce
- Join a call audio-only
- some of the participants share their screen
Expected behaviour
I can see the shared screen
Actual behaviour
It looks like the app tries to connect to the screensharing stream (spinner on top of the users avatar), but I never see the actual screensharing.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on a Galaxy S24 Ultra running Android 14 with Talk 21.0.0: join audio-only while another participant shares their screen. Inspect the Android screensharing and call-connection entry points, then verify that the shared screen renders instead of remaining on the avatar spinner.
