Since updating my rig (new rig below) I can no longer screen share certain things (eg: Netflix, Disney+) like I've been doing for a while on my old rig.  Normally I'd chalk this up to "security" measures from the source to prevent streaming (and on some level it probably is), but I was and still am able to screen share from my older rig.  Both were running Windows 10 and Chrome (and thanks to my Chrome login, should have the same extensions), but things like Zoom, Discord, and OBS don't register those videos at all on the new rig.  So my options are one of a change in settings, drivers, or hardware that's causing this.  I'd originally thought it might be because of the 5600xt, as it's apparently had issues with black screen and rendering, but since the issue is only for certain things and not while gaming or doing things in full screen I don't know.  Anyone got any ideas?

I don't think you're supposed to be able to screen share when protected content is playing. Did this happen after a driver update?

I would agree, I'm not supposed to be able to, but apparently on the right machine I can.  And no, I built and moved to a brand new system, though maybe the older system is using some old drivers.  I've been trying to dig into settings in chrome and zoom but with no luck.  This is why I think it might be hardware related...but that seems like a reach.  I'll put together a parts list for the old rig in case that might be part of it.
