I updated to MacOS Catalina and now I cannot share my app screens. I can share my desktop, but that is all others can see.

Found it.
System Preferences
Security & Privacy
Privacy
Screen Recording
My system had an entry (unchecked) for Microsoft teams. I think it asked me as I was launching but I blew by it. Not sure how you'd add it if it's not there. You just have to turn it on, and Teams screen sharing will work.
Hi
I found an interesting workaround -
If my teams is windowed then I always get the following
"We need permission to share your screen Go to Security & Privacy"
But in full screen mode, it appears to work.
same session - just go to full screen and it works, go back to windowed mode and it stops working...

Exactly opposite solution for me.
Screen sharing didnt work when in full screen but in 'window' mode it enables.
Thank you a lot!!
I tried everything in settings and privacy - including toggling Teams access to Screen Recording, adding Teams to Accessibility, giving Teams Full Disk Access etc.
What worked for me was to exit full screen and magically the desktop and other applications become available for sharing.
Hi Betty,
since the latest MacOS update yesterday I'm not able to share my screen anymore. Teams asks me to set the appropriate setting in the preferences panel, but it is already set. Even re-granting the permission does not help. Since I often have to share my screen with my colleagues in my daily work, I would be available for advice.
Thank you and best regards
