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.

    Resetting Screen Capture privacy settings with tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.microsoft.teams does not resolve the problem with Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.26266 @ macOS Catalina 10.15.7 on a new MacBook Pro which out of the box was 10.15.6 and was updated to 10.15.7 right after installation. At the same time, old MacBook Pro, where Teams were initially installed years ago and upgraded together with macOS, works as expected - Teams is on Screen Capture list, allowed and shares the screen fine, even though it's also 1.3.00.26266 @ 10.15.7.

    Seems like at some point Teams lost the code to request access but if earlier versions of it already requested and were granted permission, macOS seems to respect this selection.
