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

Security & Privacy

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.

    Tech guy fixed it!

    Go into settings on your Teams.  Uncheck "Turn on new meeting experience". Then go into settings to allow Teams to have access to screen record.  You can then go back and turn new experience back on.

    Hi

    I found an interesting workaround -

    If my teams is windowed then I always get the following

    "We need permission to share your screen Go to Security & Privacy"

    But in full screen mode, it appears to work.

    same session - just go to full screen and it works, go back to windowed mode and it stops working...

    This worked for me as well...not having sharing is almost as bad as not having chat. Thank you for finding this workaround.

    Having the same issue as you, LastCrusader. Didn't have the problem when initially updating to MacOS Catalina, but now with the 2nd update from yesterday I can no longer share it.

    Thanks,

    Same problem here. Enabling Screen sharing in privacy settings does not help.
