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.

    I've been having the same issues as all. Closing the Apple Photos app appears to be a work around for me. Opening it back up causes the same security issue.

    ditto. this is now going on for a month and still no resolution. This is a core functionality of the product that has now made it useless.

    How long till the next release. This should be a top priority issue. I have been going on 2 weeks now with no ability to share my screen. This is a HUGER piece of functionality!

    My temporary workaround is that I created Chrome shortcut webapp from the web Teams, where screensharing works. So I do not have native MacOS app, however the webapp works
