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

Security & Privacy

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.

    Hi Leith - One last thing I can suggest is under "Security and Privacy - > Full Disk Access", check Teams (i.e. if it appears there).

    Hi Cathy, I don't know the resolution. Microsoft engineering really need to make this a HIGH priority and get it fixed for the Mac user community.

    Just FYI, my Teams version is 1.3.00.26266  and MacOS Catalina is 10.15.7

    Thanks Chris - I followed your steps but I am still getting the same message about permissions and privacy to share the screen. I can go to Browse and find whatever it is I want to share but that isn't right either - I have used Mac's for years and for Teams over the last 8 months and it has been ok but with the new Macbook Pro isn't working. Teams doesn't show up in the listed Apps that I need to provide permission to. I have turned everything on and off etc but still nothing. Any other suggestions anyone?

    I have the same issue. I tried everything! Checking privacy settings, quitting Temas, uninstalling it, rebooting system and nothing helps.
