What the independent test changes
If DeviceOK passes
A successful DeviceOK screen capture means the OS/browser can expose a screen; Slack may still need its own permission or policy change.
If DeviceOK fails
If DeviceOK cannot request screen capture, solve the OS/browser capture permission first.
Check these in order
- 1
Run DeviceOK Screen Share Test.
- 2
Verify Slack has operating-system screen-recording permission where required.
- 3
Restart Slack after permission changes if the OS requires it.
- 4
Check huddle permissions/policies if screen sharing remains unavailable.
Retest instead of guessing
After changing one setting, run the independent DeviceOK test again before moving to a more invasive step. This preserves evidence and avoids changing multiple variables at once.
