Mac Catalina And Microsoft Teams Screen Sharing Permissions

Solution 1:

The fix for this can be simple as entering the command:

tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.microsoft.teams

This will reset the permissions for the Teams app. More details here: https://silviustroe.com/cant-share-screen-microsoft-teams-fix/

Solution 2:

There is a strange workaround for this. Screen recording will work fine if you are in full screen mode.

The issue arises when you are in windowed mode or you have an external monitor connected.

Solution 3:

I had the same issue, and I resolved it by giving PowerPoint screen recording access, too. My advice is to check which other Microsoft applications are in that list, and see whether or not they need access.

EDIT: After having another look at your screenshot: maybe you need to start PowerPoint before it appears in this list. Not sure about that.

Solution 4:

I've also had this issue on macOS 10.15. I've found that if I attempt to share my screen in a scheduled meeting before or after the meeting is scheduled to begin/end I receive the We need permission to.... error.

However, during the scheduled time of the meeting it behaves normally. I also don't seem to have this issue when I'm joining an ad-hoc meeting (not scheduled within the calendar).
