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

So, it looks like the problem has been running for a while and there is no fix at all yet
I started seeing this issue 2 months ago and started using CISCO Webex instead from then on.
cannot keep work on hold... :)
Well just throwing my hat in as well - my school has gone to distance learning over Teams (terrible platform for it, IMHO) and there are 4 of us teachers using Macs - ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM with screen sharing, as identified by OP in Feb 2020. How is this not fixed Microsoft?! Unacceptable.
I have the same problem and I have noticed that my students working on Macs with High Sierra don't have that problem, they can share everything. I use Catalina and have no chance of sharing my screen ....
Have you tried starting sharing in Full Screen mode? This worked for me.
It seems the pop-up window that the Mac OS tries to show you for opening the Screen Recording settings gets hidden unless you're in Teams full screen when you try to share screen.
This actually worked for me, thank you!
