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

    I've done this before... it's the screen recording permit.

    but what we're saying here is that you can't share individual windows, just the whole desktop.

    Hi, just sharing the same experience that my screen sharing was not working with Mac OS Catalina. I did workaround to set a setting in "Security & Privacy" -> Full Disk Access & File  & Folders. Just check the MS Team on those 2 option and shared screen start working. Not sure what is the impact with the security may be others can give feedback.

    Thanks

    Hrr

    and now you can share only one application window? (e.g. excel file, word file, ...) 

    MS Teams allows to share desktop screen also in MacOS version

    the problem is that with the MacOS versione you can't share an application window

    i hope they fix this problem

    it would be good if someone could tell us that the fix on this problem is planned

    we'd at least have a date on which to hope this problem is finally solved.

    I'm facing the same issue. It's particularly annoying that I can't share anything from within the web version of teams on Mac, as I have to use it quite often with a different MS account. Even desktop is not shareable from the web version, which makes things a lot worse for me.
