Missing "Screen Share" button on Quest 3 -Stuck in minimal UI even on latest version

Hi, I need help with a very specific problem regarding the Group Call feature on my Quest 3.

On my friend’s Quest 3, the call interface works perfectly:

There is a green "Call" button on the bar.

Next to the Mic/Speaker icons, there is a Screen Share button (a square with an up arrow).

When they click it, they can choose "Entire Screen" or "Specific App" (similar to Discord).

However, on my Quest 3 (see attached screenshots):

The call bar is stuck in a minimal mode showing only Microphone and End Call.

The green "Call" button is missing. It is replaced by a profile icon that does nothing when clicked.

The Screen Share button is completely missing.

My device is already on the latest version. I checked for system updates and there is nothing else to update.

I also searched every corner of the Chat app settings and call settings, but there is no mention of screen sharing or any way to enable the full call UI. I tried expanding the UI and switching themes (Dark/Light), but the Screen Share option simply does not exist on my device.

It feels like the feature is disabled for my account/device, while my friend (on the same version) has it.

Does anyone know why the Screen Share feature is missing even on the latest firmware, and how I can get the full Discord-like sharing menu to appear?

(Attached: screenshots of my limited UI)

 

My friend has this icon (↑) next to the Mic, but I only see Mute and End Call.

    That's the way how Meta distribute features..... some accounts get them earlier than others.

    I remember, I couldn't send pictures in chats...... months - or was it a year? - after  others were able to do that.

    There is nothing you can do to force that, you'll have to wait🙁
