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.

    Bug with Screen Recording permission in Mac OS Catalina and/or Teams

    My environment: 

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.2.00.28258

    MacOS  10.15.1 (19B88)

    There seems to be a permission problem with MacOS or with Teams related to the ability to share your screen via Teams.   

    When attempting to start a screen-share a dialogue box is displayed saying permission must be set but it is already set as allowed.

    Normal behavior should be that the error message is no longer displayed in Teams once the permission was granted for "Screen Recording"

    "We need permission to share your screen

    Go to Security & Privacy > Screen Recording to give permission and start sharing."

    I have deleted the Teams cache folder and app and restarted the machine.  I reinstalled Teams and even attempted to remove and reinstate Record Screen permission but nothing has resolved this problem.

    Having the same issue as you, LastCrusader. Didn't have the problem when initially updating to MacOS Catalina, but now with the 2nd update from yesterday I can no longer share it.

    Thanks,

    Same problem here. Enabling Screen sharing in privacy settings does not help.

    Same Issue here and all items seem to be checked in privacy settings. :-(

    I had the same problem, but in my case, this solution didn't work. So I had to uninstall Skype for Business in order to fix it.
