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 faced the same problem.

    What helped me in the end was to run Teams and System Preferences in the same Space (desktop). I ran Teams in a separate Space. Once I 'moved' System Preferences to that Space it worked.

    Hope it helps.

    regards,

    I had the same problem, couldn’t share my screen with teams ( and I downloaded 3 days ago catalina)

    : when I went to security & privacy -> screen recording->  I wasn’t able to see microsoft teams 

    solution; 

    Security & privacy -> full disk access -> add microsoft teams  -> close teams -> reopen teams -> go back to security & privacy -> now youll be able to see teams in files and folders, but also in screen recording ! Click on teams in screen recording (and close teams). Reopen your teams and tadaaaaaaaaam
