If you're using a Mac, you'll need to grant permission to Teams to record your computer's screen before you can share. If you are using a US IT managed macOS computer, you can do this without needing admin rights. If you are doing this on a personal computer, admin rights are required.

  1. You'll be prompted to grant permission the first time you try to share your screen. Select Open System Preferences from the prompt.

    If you miss the prompt, you can do this anytime by going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

  2. Under Screen Recording, make sure Microsoft Teams is selected.

  3. Go back to your meeting and try sharing your screen again.

Note: If you're using Teams on the web, make sure you've also granted screen recording permission to your browser.
