MS Teams for mac unable to share desktop or other screens - app and online versions

In MS Teams , I cannot share my Desktop / Application Windows. Teams alerts me that it needs Screen Recording permissions, although I have actually granted these before, and the regarding boxes in System Preferences are already ticked. 

I have the newest version of Catalina and Teams. Nevertheless I don´t know exactly which applications are blocking the Teams screen sharing and why., I have followed all suggestions such as using the online version, same issue occurs, removing VPNs and rebooting and updating apps and the mac itself......I use Teams constantly for work and this is causing me a major hassle!

Thanks

    What worked for me is not closing the preferences app, just leave it open as it this, then share screen.

    Go to MS Teams switch it to full screen mode, you will be prompted to go to settings, just the info will be thru "pop up" message and you should see the option in settings again...

    I have the same issue and the screen sharing works just in the full screen mode...

    Or see my more detailed info on page 9 bottom in this channel.
