Actual behaviour

Client crashes 💥

Vue Devtools extension is installed
[3:1115/092440.055241:ERROR:bus.cc(571)] Failed to get the ownership of org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.chromium.instance3: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

After wrapping that code with a catch it still crashes:

it also appears to happen when pressing escape rather than just clicking cancel/abort I believe it happens when pressing escape during a call altogether but more testing might be needed to verify that

[nickvergessen]

If it's not screenshare, but always, please create a new issue. The stacktrace of the crash here mentions specifically the screenshare function.

i will verify and do that

Note: it only happens with the binaries. Snadboxed app works fine.
