Your screen isn't being shared multiple times. That is the expected behaviour: If you share the whole screen, you see your whole screen in the screenshare window showing the screenshare window including your screen and so on ... to infinity....and beyond ;-) As soon as you switch to another window the other clients will see just the screen you are seeing.

If you want to avoid that irritating behaviour, you can choose to share only the selected window, not the full screen.

I have created a PDF template that could be used as a work around for the time being...
If you find this useful I can provide more.

This is expected behavior with webrtc, even if you check the google meet, you will find similar issue, and this thing remains till the time you share your bbb screen, however if you change it to different screen for sharing this behavior ends.
