Screen sharing option missing from Ubuntu 18.04 (vino installed)

I have a computer on Ubuntu 18.04 (actually upgraded from Ubuntu Gnome 16.04). I need to set up screen sharing but the option isn't there.
In settings > sharing, the master sharing switch is on and I see computer name, but underneath that only Remote login and File sharing - no option for screen sharing as the docs suggest it should be.
As per the title, vino is installed - maybe there's another package I need that somehow didn't transition between the two versions?

This question is old, but here's an answer:
Log out, and then start the login (select your user name) but before you enter your password, click the gear-icon...then select the "Ubuntu with Xorg" and NOT the "Ubuntu" option.
Log in, and go back to Sharing...you should see "Screen Sharing" there now.
