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

    Please note: on a Mac you can only share Windows that reside on the same 'Space'. This means if you use multiple spaces (or multiple desktops as some people would call it) and use mission control to switch between them, you need to relocate the window you want to share to be on the same space as where Teams is. 

    Only then will Teams show that window in its list of windows to share.

    Agreed - this does not work - you get some windows but not a full selection of open windows including specifically a powerpoint window

    I used kind of workaround 3. As  'Screen Recording' was already disabled, I just enabled it and sharing desktop worked fine.

    Thanks a lot

    Where did you find System preferences? You mean System preferences of the Macos or Teams, since I can not find any from Teams.
