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 was missing Teams in the Screen Recoding window as well, I found that a full uninstall and then reboot, reinstall of Teams downloaded direct from the Microsoft site fixed this and put Teams in screen recording and you could tick it.

    Good luck.

    Yes this seems to work, with systems preferences open. Thank you.

    It is a bit annoying but it seems to only need to do this once when you first login to Teams and doesn't require it for every video call or chat. When Teams is closed and re-opened then you would need to do it again. 

    Thanks for your help. Hopefully there will be a more concrete fix to come out soon.

    Hi, yes, you have to leave 'systems preference' open while you use Teams.
