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

    Same story here. I have tried all of the suggestions in this thread with no luck.

    I have also noticed that the thread addresses several RELATED, but not identical problems:

    1. Teams is not visible in the screen sharing menu at all (my problem)
    2. Enabling screen sharing for Teams does not work
    3. Enabling partly works and resets every time Teams is restarted
    4. Sharing options are only available / selectable when Teams is in full screen mode

    Some of the workarounds seem to work on some of the problems, but the underlaying problem appears to be persistent regardless of workaround procedure.

    Thanks to all the people who have suggested various workarounds! However, MS is the only party able to resolve the problem and MUST prioritize finding a fix for this critical function to work reliably.

    Brand new 16" MacBook and was having the same issues described by others. I installed the Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update and that fixed it for me.
