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 have a additional question : why I am only able to share the "teams window" (below the "fenêtre") and not all the opened windows of my Mac ?

    I had the same problem as you all, but I managed to solve it in a rather simply way.

    If I go to System Preferences and keep it open, I can share my screen. Once I close it, the screen sharing stops working :S

    Weird, but I hope it helps anyone.

    Thank you
