    Cannot share Excel via Teams on Mac? It’s very frustrating and I have tried all sorts of things

    unable to share excel files in teams for imac - only ppts and whiteboard seem possible - please fix asap. PS it says it needs permission for screen recording but when I go in there there is nothing waiting to receive permission....

    First BIG Disappointment with MS Teams. We've decided to invest in a big way in Teams, but we all share Excel workbooks all the time! Really hoping Microsoft fixes this soon. Integration of it's products was a key selling point for us - this seems minor to fix but significant in terms of daily impact and frankly, embarassment.

    I am having the same issue with the excel spreadsheet. Is this going to get fixed, if so when?

    Clear Microsoft Teams cache and check if it works.
    =================
    1. Quit Microsoft Teams. Right-click the icon and select Quit.
    2. Copy and paste the following location in Terminal : ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams
    3. Delete the contents of the entire folder.
    4. Restart Microsoft Teams and check it works.

    Hi All, I can suggest few steps here. Once you use MS Teams, try and share your "Desktop" then open Excel file or any other file for that matter which you want to share with your audience. It works. Just a caution, close all unwanted windows applications.

    One additional note. You can share Word files no problem. You can also share Excel files no problem as long as you start sharing the file before yo close it! Once you close the Excel file you will never be able to share it in a Teams meeting again with the way things are now. Try it for yourself and see.

    This is a bug and needs to be treated as such.

    My suggestion. We all report this to Microsoft for what it is, a bug. I've been told that UserVoice is only for feature suggestions/changes. Being able to share Word documents but not Excel is some kind of odd bug from Microsoft. They won't even look at it here until it receives I believe 300 votes or so.Please Report it as a bug so Microsoft knows.

    Super annoying issue. Forces me to share entire screen which is very inconvenient both for me and for viewers. Please fix

    Indeed, very frustrating. Happy to learn that it's not an issue from my side, but still. Let's have this fixed soon !

    Same here. No screen sharing of an Excel sheet possible, whether in MS Teams nor in Skype. So probably an Excel problem. (Excel 10.63 on Mac OS 10.15.4)

    Microsoft does not interface with a Microsoft Product (Excel)? That makes no sense to me. This is a huge issue!
