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

    Hi guys,

    When you share a screen you must be a presenter.

    If you are a presenter and a purple circle rotates you don't (not enabled) adobe flash player

    I am definitely having the same problem (for at least a month) and I am pretty frustrated that this is happening at a time when everyone needs Teams to do their work. MS seems to be taking this pretty lightly.

    Go into System Preferences, then SECURITY AND PRIVACY, Then SCREEN RECORDING.  You may have to click on the lock on the bottom to be able to make changes, but after enabling the checkmark beside MS Teams, close the System Preferences and restart Teams. 

    (For some versions of MacOS you may need to keep System Preferences open, or it won't work for you)

    If you want to share a window instead of a screen, the window MUST be on the same Space as Teams. Use Mission Control (or three finger swipe up) to check.
