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.

    Same issue here. Still can't share my screen after giving permissions to MS Teams on Mac OS Catalina Desktop App. 

    Need this fixed.

    There was one time where I logged out of Teams and back in again and it gave me access. That was THE only time.

    Any updates???

    I tried everything in settings and privacy - including toggling Teams access to Screen Recording, adding Teams to Accessibility, giving Teams Full Disk Access etc. 

    What worked for me was to exit full screen and magically the desktop and other applications become available for sharing.
