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

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 (hat tip) .. I can only share screen, and do so consistently, when in NON-fullscreen mode.

    Versions:

    MacOS: 10.15.2 (19C57)

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.2.00.34155. It was last updated on 12/18/19.

    I found that I am stuck in the loop of being asked for permissions and the permissions already being granted. Nothing suggested worked.

    I then stopped Team running in Full Screen Mode.

    Bingo I can share.

    Go back to Full Screen mode... Permissions message again...

    So try not running in full screen mode

    YES!!! That worked... what a sneaky bug! @MSTeams devs, this is the problem ^^^^

    This solved the issue for me too. I would never have found that out myself as I am using TEAMS in full screen usually...
