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.

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.

    What I have found today that works is running Teams through the browser instead of the app. When I did this at teams.microsoft.com, I had one icon for desktop/application. I clicked it and got a pop up to choose window, application, or Chrome tab. When I picked application, I was able to share JUST that app. So I'm sticking with this until MS gets the native app fixed.

    This trick really works for me. Just bring up the dialog that asks which screen you want to share. Kill the share there. New share works!
