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.

    I tried many times and methods, but finally when I switch it to Full Screen mode, it works well now.

    I've got the same problem, it seems to work if all windows are on the same 'desktop' when sharing (no full screen). I also added Teams to the Files & Folders, Full Disk Access & Screen Recording areas in settings & toggled all of these multiple times & it started working (no idea why in particular). Too flaky to rely on for any business use however, so effectively useless!! PLEASE SORT THIS ASAP!!

    Also I would like to add that Teams is SO UNINTUITIVE to use and has AWFUL MULTI-MONITOR SUPPORT - I want to see team members on one screen and the presentation (whether mine or others) on the second screen. I would use a different app in a heartbeat if it wasn't for my organisation. We all hate this app!!!
