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.

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.
That worked!!! It took me all day to find and track this thread down but now at least I'm working.....
Thanks!!!!!
Mine has also started working however I did nothing ....
But clicking int eh Square arrow shows open apps and Desktops
:)
OK - clarification, it's now working.
After I installed Catalina, I attempted to do a direct screen share with a colleague (using the Up Arrow in the Box icon). That is what gave me the message about needing permissions, but when I got there, there were no entries for Teams to select.
I went to the Calendar link
and clicked Meet Now
When I did that, I received a different Pop Up (a Mac pop-up) asking me to grant permission to add Teams to Screen Recording. Now I have Teams under Screen Recording and am able to properly share my screen! I know others have indicated it works temporarily for them - my original problem was getting Teams to appear under Screen Recording. It appears starting a "Meeting" vs a simple screen share request is what triggered MacOS to prompt/add MS Teams to the list.
I have the same problem - updated to Catalina and now Teams will not share my screen. Under SECURITY & PRIVACY > SCREEN RECORDING, I don't have an option for Teams.
I've uninstalled/re-installed Teams, I've cleared the Teams cache ~Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/indexedDB - no luck. Please fix, this is a real problem.
