And in the process, we learned that the yellow border issue was caused by the developers’ end because of a “bug in the code that was not detecting this appropriately.”

Here is what one of the devs had to say about the yellow border issue while screen sharing in Discord:

“We are using a new form of graphics capture. However, on older versions of windows (windows 10) specifically, this graphics capture interface would make the window being captured having a yellow border. On windows 11, it does not have the yellow border.”

“We had a bug in the code that was not detecting this appropriately.”

“For now, we are rolling back this new capture interface, so that we can fix this issue, so in around ~30 minutes we should have this fix deployed to the stable client – and the yellow borders will be gone following a reload of your client.”
