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.

    This worked for me!! Been trying to figure out why Teams was not showing up in  System Preferences -> Screen Recording. I turned off the "New meeting experience" and boom, it asked for permission, and now it works!

    Tech guy fixed it!

    Go into settings on your Teams.  Uncheck "Turn on new meeting experience". Then go into settings to allow Teams to have access to screen record.  You can then go back and turn new experience back on.  

    thanks! You are a life saver - this forced teams to offer the option in the screen recording plane and then after resetting the "Turn on new experience" and restarting (both teams and by mac) everything worked well, phew. Much appreciate your advice!

    The new meeting option fix works until the laptop is restarted then its breaks again!

    The only fix we have found is to leave System Preferences open while using Teams.

    Same exact problem as you Joe and versions. Undo whatever you did for this release. I probably use sharing 4 hours/day.
