Purple screen share when using Microsoft Teams

Running Fusion PRO 13.0.0 & Windows 10 Enterprise, when anyone does a screen share in Teams their screen appears purple.

I've tried turning off accelerate 3D graphics but that's not made a difference, worked fine with Fusion PRO 12.X.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix the issue ?

I'm running Windows 10 on Mac OS 13.1.

Presume you're on an Intel mac?  It definitely won't work under windows 10 on M1.

Why not just run teams on the host?

Which mac model?  Does it have a discrete graphics chip?  If it's an old model, it may not have the features required.

It's a MBP 16" from 2019.  

I just wanted to post an update that I was able to resolve this issue by deleting the appData folder for Teams and restarting.  

Thank you for your help though, it was very concerning when the screen issue appeared immediately after installing VMware 13 player. 

Best Regards!
