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.

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.
It maybe another software you are running for instance We run a time tracking software called Harvest which when open means I cant share
So quit everything but teams and try and share - and if it works its another app
HTH
Alex, can't argue with that logic
Alex, as of the last few posts, many users are saying that this is a problem with Apple and how they are handling in the OS rather than a Microsoft Error. You may want to visit some of the last few posts to this thread.

Hi Orin,
thx much for the reply.
i did see the comments about this being related to Apple, however, im wondering if Microsoft has reached out to Apple engineers about this. after reviewing some other forums online, other vendors who have had similar issues appear to have resolved them with an update.
Has Microsoft made any official statements regarding this issue? if they feel this is caused by Apple, wouldnt it make sense for them to post something official about it so we dont have keep scouring the web for answers? this has been ongoing since October 2019 (i think).
