Not able to share screen after catalina update

Hello,


I just updated to Catalina a couple of days ago and since then I am not able to share my screen using any software including skype or gotomeeting.


My clients are simply not able to view my screen .They are just able to see the top menu.


Anyone else facing the same issue?


Thanks,

Adnan

This is what worked for me. It seems the issue is the way Catalina deals with System Preference > Privacy > Screen Recording.

  1. Open this dialog (it will probably be blank)
  2. Open your app and start a session then attempt to screen share
  3. The app should give you a notice that it needs permissions
  4. The app should show up in the dialog list
  5. Check the box
  6. You will need to restart said app (so do this before a real meeting)


Was able to add; Teams, Skype and Zoom this way.
