I confirm that bug.
Screen Sharing is broken.

I have tested Screen Sharing on version 2.16.0 and have the same bug.
Checked version 2.15.5 and it works fine.

we have the same issue on 2.17.0 and 2.16. clients on Windows and Ubuntu. Jitsi Video/Audio works but screen sharing stuck on loading. Please fix this.

Rocket.Chat Electron version 2.17.1 didn't fix that issue, please fix it.

Having exactly this issue with freshly installed 2.17.7.
Using self-hosted server. When trying jitsi screen share, have this in Developer Console:

jitsi.js:41 Uncaught DOMException: Blocked a frame with origin "https://xchat.xdsnet.pl" from accessing a cross-origin frame.
    at pollJitsiIframe (C:\Program Files\Rocket.Chat\resources\app.asar\app\preload.js:3501:47)
pollJitsiIframe @ jitsi.js:41

Version 2.15 worked fine with same server.

NOTE: it started to work when I enabled server option "Always Open in New Window". CORS errors still there, but screen share works - must be unrelated.
