Screenshare tests don't work with selenium chrome browser but work for regular chrome on mac

As mentioned in the title, we have some selenium automated tests that used to be able to successfully screenshare on our macs locally but started to fail after an update a while back. I'm not sure which update caused the issues but now they fail as if it's permissions related.

It appears to be permissions related because trying to share screen using the chromium browsers immediately fails upon selecting a screen/window to share and we see the same error in the console that's given when I've turned permissions off for regular chrome browser ('failed to start screen share, reason: canceled'. If I log in with the same user in a regular chrome session, the screen sharing works.

I've tried to make all changes suggested by others who have reported screenshare issues with macOs such as enabling screensharing for all browsers. I've even added intellij and chromedrivers to this list to see if it would help but was unsuccessful. My screen sharing toggle is turned on as well already in settings.

Any suggestions or fixes for this issue?
