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.

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.

    Thanks George.  Would be so much easier if Microsoft simply fixed it, given this is a major problem when using Teams and collaboration is what Teams is all about.

    Try after exiting teams from full screen.

    If it is not working then try exiting chrome from fullscreen.

    Sometimes the Screen Sharing starts working with Microsoft Teams Desktop Application on a Mac when I "Exit the Full Screen".
