MacOS unable to share screen
- Click the Apple menu.
- Then, go to System Preferences > Click Security & Privacy > Privacy tab.
- Click Screen Recording.
- Click the lock icon to make changes.
- If required, enter your admin password.
- Finally, click the checkbox next to Microsoft Teams.
- A notification window will ask you to restart it. Agree.
Did all this setting till problem is not resolve? Please guide
- Hi, I have the same problem, and I found the solution:
1. Go to System Preferences > Click Security & Privacy > Privacy tab.
2. If there is a Team Application, try to delete it first by select the "Teams Application list" and klik the minus " - " sign in the left corner of the selection box
3. When finished, click the plus " + " sign in the left corner of the selection box, browse the Application > select the Microsoft Team (work or school).app and click OPEN
4. Now retry the share screen on Teams, it should work.

- I have the same issue as BMarkley: I follow all the steps, the lock is unclicked, but no apps appear in the window to check. When I use the + to add Teams from my applications, it asks to "Open then Restart" Teams, but then never adds it to the box in System Preferences. I am not able to add any applications there.
- This is the same for me. I select the padlock etc, and enter the password. Then click the + icon, find MS Teams, select 'open' or double click and then nope it does not appear in the list.
- I have two options: share the entire screen, or share the Teams window. So, no option to share other windows.
As a workaround, if I exit full screen, Teams can share other non-fullscreen windows.RyanN580 workaround is fine! Thank you.

Thank you, this worked perfectly. Using Mac OS 11.6
I did all of this, but when I got to #6, there's no Microsoft Teams option to select!
BMarkley When you get to step #6, click the + Icon, then go to applications and select Teams. It'll add it to the list, then you'll be able to turn it on. Hope this helps!

- I didn't find the Teams application in my application folder. I do have Microsoft office, but should I need it? Honestly, I'll just stick with Zoom.
ManishWadhai I completed all the steps. I see Microsoft Teams listed, but I'm unable to 'select the box' next to Teams.
Please help.

Remember to "open" the settings by clicking on the lock icon and giving it your password.
- This worked for me. Thank you.
All settings are okay on my daughters Macbook 2020, but when I click share button in teams, only a blank square appears and no choice is available. Can you help?
