Infinite mirror effect when sharing the current meeting screen #1405

Description

Description

When a user shares their entire screen while being inside a meeting, the meeting interface captures itself repeatedly, creating an infinite mirror effect.

From the discussion, it seems we already have a component that is supposed to prevent this behavior.
So this may be a regression, possibly linked to the new Meet layout.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Join a meeting.
  2. Start screen sharing.
  3. Select the screen/window where the meeting itself is displayed.
  4. Observe the shared screen preview and what other participants see.

Current behavior

The shared screen displays the meeting inside itself repeatedly, creating an infinite recursive view.

Expected behavior

The app should prevent or reduce this recursive screen-sharing effect.

Notes

There may be a regression here, as a component already exists to handle this scenario.

The new Meet layout looks better overall, but this screen-sharing edge case should be checked and updated if needed.
