"Microsoft Teams" Is Accessing Your Screen notification

Hi, after the latest Mac Update (MacOS Sequoia version 15.2) I am now perpetually getting reminders that Teams is accessing my screen and audio when I am deliberately sharing my screen. I can't find a way to get rid of it. This happens multiple times throughout a meeting when I am sharing my screen. 

Any suggestions?

    I’m experiencing the same issue today after upgrading to Sequoia 15.3. This is very frustrating. I hope the next update will fix this problem soon.

      Booo! I was hoping a patch could be in 15.3!

    I have the same problem after the MacOS update and I definitely couldn't find a solution, it's very annoying.

    For now I have resorted to ditching the client software and using the Teams Web version instead. It is functionally comparable. Also because it is Chrome providing all the screen capture/webcam/mic stuff it actually works properly. It sure has other issues (such as notification popups not coming through) but at the very least it allows me to do my work.

    Having the same issue even with macOS 15.3... It is really annoying. If anyone has a solution, even if temporary until an update of Teams solve the issue, I am listening closely!

    I lead the meetings for my daily standup and share my screen for about an hour. This notification window covers my mute button! Super annoying. There is not anything i can change in settings,  i have even tried the "Do not disturb" feature. Nothing stops this notification window. PLEASE FIX

    Also having this problem. There is a thread about the same issue with Zoom on Apple - need to try some of their solutions, perhaps they help people here as well.

    Unfortunately I don't have any solution to this but I can confirm this started happening for me too since upgrading to Sequoia 15.2 today. For reference I'm using Teams version 24335.204.3298.2649.
