I posted the same question on the /r/operabrowser subreddit and received the following answer, which fixed my issues with sharing:

You can try disabling hardware acceleration at opera://settings/system.

Or, you can play with the opera://flags/#use-angle flag.

For me specifically, changing the #use-angle flag from Default to D3D9 OR OpenGL fixed the issues I was having, but it may not be the same for you.

Recently when I have attempted to share my Opera Browser using Discord's built-in screensharing software, all that is shared is a black screen with my mouse cursor.

Any game I have tried to share does not have this issue, and neither does Chrome.

However I do not wish to have to switch to chrome just to screenshare and would like to be able to use Opera as I used to.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it as I believe it is an issue related to Opera specifically rather than Discord as Opera is the only software I have been having these issues with.
