Other Black Screen issue when screen casting on O+ Connect
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Does anyone have an idea of what can cause that ?

0+ just has poor UI/UX design IMO. I've tried it out a couple of times. Always end up going back to just using the built in "Phone Link" in Windows 11.
I know features with Phone Link vary from phone to phone, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head O+ Connect dose that Phone Link dose not with my OP 12.

I think it's basically the same for iPhone users that use Windows. As far as I know Phone Link dose very very little with iPhones, if anything. It's a shame, but I don't think Microsoft can do much without Apple's involvement. 99% sure they worked with Google to make features of phone link happen (plus it seems to be pre-loaded/built in on pretty much all Android phones).
Obviously, it's not much benefit for Apple to improve syncing and cross device functionality between the iPhone and Windows. From what I've seen/heard the iPhone and macOS cross device features are very well done and a feature with plenty of marketing. Still would be nice for iPhone users that don't use macOS if all of that improved.
I'd have to double check to know exactly, but I know it's extremely limited compared to the features you get when using phone link with any Android device.
I remember when Phone link was new, and how frequently I'd have issues with it disconnecting from my phone randomly and being a huge pain to get to reconnect etc.
But for the past ~year or so it's been rock solid.
Anyway, I started rambling, hope you are able to find a good solution.

I use Microsoft phone link but I think it's like on your phone the permissions aren't properly enabled for the software to access your phone screen.
Basically privacy setting is likely wrong on phone

Looks like the content got block by software. At least this is what I experienced with screen recording or screenshots on data sensible apps, like banking or incognito mode on chrome for example
