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

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 found that I am stuck in the loop of being asked for permissions and the permissions already being granted. Nothing suggested worked.

    I then stopped Team running in Full Screen Mode.

    Bingo I can share.

    Go back to Full Screen mode... Permissions message again...

    So try not running in full screen mode

    This was a great tip. Screen sharing option disappeared today, yesterday it worked. Just realized MS Teams was in fullscreen mode. Switched to window mode and suddenly the display sharing option reappeared!

    I have the same issue, I have the latest version of Teams - 1.2.00.34155.

    It works if I do not have Teams and Google Chrome in full screen, took me a while to figure out.

    Switching to full screen (using green button for maximize) works for me.
