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.

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 have this problem also.  This is troublesome since I often share Excel sheets during presentations.

    Actually it doesn't work in my case when I have Excel app in window - no full screen mode.

    I notices that new excel file (Book1) is available for window sharing, but any other earlier created file is not available. Interesting ...

    Browser version of Teams may be the alternative but I don't prefer it. Teams desktop app shall work properly.
