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

We had the same problem. Solution: the 'Outlook' window shouldn't be maximized nor minimized. When this is the case, then the option to share the desktop in MS Teams (mac) is available again...
Hi Chris,
I had the same problem. When you share screens / desktop and it asks for privacy permissions, assuming you have checked all the boxes etc under this thread, leave the security and permissions window open and then try and share the screen again. This worked for me on the Macbook air.
Just thought I'd add my two cents. We just changed our small business over from Gsuite to MS 365 and after all that work, I can not use one of the key features I was hoping for - the videoconferencing and screensharing. We are a Mac business and we thought (and still do think) that the combination of the Apple hardeware adn Microsoft 365 business software would be a great combination. Please fix this Microsoft! Teams has a lot of good things going for it, but first impressions from businesses who convert from Gsuite are extremely important! Please fix this quickly!
what has worked for me is keep the privacy and setting windows open all the time. > first thing you do before starting teams - select - unselect - select the TEAMS option in Privacy TAB > Screen Recording.
Keep this window open all the time, and start teams. If you close the Security and Privacy window - screen sharing will disappear.
