There is a thread on this here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365admin-mso_teams-mso_o365b/macos-catalina-and-teams-screen-sharing/28a38edc-d149-4c32-95cd-95c4d87dbf13?messageId=000ad0d2-2025-400b-8fe1-f8285dc0f488&page=21&rtAction=1579206173825

I think I might have found a workaround... at least a temporary one.

My system was already configured to Allow screen recording in Security & Privacy settings. I didn't have any luck with tracking the problem down internally (I heard it's actually an issue with MacOS but that's not confirmed).

To get screen sharing to work, here is what I did:

1. Quit Teams
2. Disable/Disallow/Uncheck 'Screen Recording' for Microsoft Teams in 'Settings -> Security & Privacy'
3. Open Teams
4. Start a Meeting (confirmed that Screen Sharing is not available)
5. Quit Teams
6. Re-Enable/Allow/Check 'Screen Recording' for Microsoft Teams in 'Settings -> Security & Privacy'
7. Open Teams
8. Start a Meeting (confirm that Screen Sharing IS now available)

It stinks and who knows how long it lasts but it's something.
