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.

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.

    Chiming in just to say that I'm having this exact same issue.  Very frustrating.

    This seems to be the case for me as well. I'm always in full screen mode so I didn't realize that this would resolve it. Thank you so much for the temporary fix.

    Nevertheless, I'd love for it to work in full-screen mode (as it used to)!

    I never have been able to fix it. I have to give "screen recording" permissions each time. Very annoying!
