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 am having the same issue. I was able to share my screen in April for the first lockdown, but now it is not working.

    Any hope of a solution?

    I have the same issue. I'm unable to "allow" teams under the screen recording privacy tab (The microsoft teams icon is unable to be selected at all). Echoing others...this is indeed super frustrating given that my company has now transitioned to teams and it is unusable for some of us.

    Thanks this was helpful but took my sometime to figure it out. Below is the step by step to solve this issue.

    1. go to "System Preferences" in MAC OS
    2. go to "Security & Privacy"
    3. go to "Privacy" -> "Screen Recording"
    4. Allow MS teams

    This does not work.
