MS Teams for mac unable to share desktop or other screens - app and online versions

Anonymous

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

    can you tell us step by step of this workaround please?

    Hello 

    Arthur's working around, have helped me too. Thanks for sharing. 

    Here are the steps:

    • If you try to share the screen on your Mac, you would see this message

    Then click on the "Security & Privacy settings and go to screen recording:

    If you have already selected the Microsoft teams, deselect it, select it again and leave this settings window open. 

    @"Microsoft Teams" Team: Shame on you for leaving your customers hanging around with this problem for more than 8 months.
