Linux Ubuntu: Microsoft Teams screen sharing issue in Edge browser

Recently after a Microsoft Edge browser update from 130.0.2849.80-1, users were facing issues when trying to share screen/window during their meetings in Microsoft Teams. However they were only able to share a tab from Edge.If they select screen/windows then they get this error message.

Your video isnt working

We couldnt access your camera.

It turns off their camera and nothing is shared.

This is also reported here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/mycrosoft-teams-stop-sharing-screen-in-new-version/53307f01-50fa-4827-97b3-9a188b3e2f5f

The simple solution was to revert to older version.

sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable=130.0.2849.80-1

Update: This issue is fixed in latest version 131.0.2903.86-1. Users are able to  share their entire screen without Teams turning off webcam.
