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.

    Agree 100% on the "unbelievable" part that MS hasn't fixed this super annoying and BLOCKER issue in their product.

    After reading all the complaints on this thread I decided to raise this myself with O365 support and the rep I have been in communication with acknowledged the issue. They pointed me to the below Teams Bug suggestion and suggested that I upvote it.

    https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38981038-share-screen-desktop-mac-doesn-t-work

    I'd suggest everyone in this thread does the same, maybe then they'll fix this issue.

    It's unbelievable that this still hasn't been fixed on a core MS product, especially with it being used by a much wider audience due to COVID
