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.

    I tried to go through the responses to this main issue, but could not find something that works..

    I am still having this issue.

    Have Catalina OS 10.15.2

    Teams: 1.2.00.34155  (last updated on 1/17/20).

    Issue:  When I try to click on Share in teams during a live meeting; it shows the message "We need permission.... Screen recording", even though Microsoft Teams is included (enabled) in the Security & Privacy window.  I am able to dismiss and select one of the powerpoint files to share and it works 

    Problem is it does not anything other than Powerpoint ppts in the SHARE window. How do we get DESKTOP to be shown.  

    Any help is appreciated.. thanks

    A mi me funcionó así:

    1. Desactivando 'Grabación de Pantalla' para Microsoft Teams en  'Preferencias del Sistema' -> Seguridad  & Privacidad'
    2. Reiniciando la MAC
    3. Re activando 'Grabación de Pantalla' para Microsoft Teams en  'Preferencias del Sistema' -> Seguridad  & Privacidad'

    Por supuesto no es la mejor manera, pero a lo menos puedo seguir haciendo mis presentaciones a los clientes.

    Saludos!

    Great to hear that this helped Steve! 

    >Do you think there will be an actual fix soon

    Sadly, I'm not a developer on this team and have not been able to find who actually owns this issue so I can't comment on it. I just wanted to help with what I found. :)
