Same issue here on Intel MacBook Pro 2020.

It seems the OSX permissions for Chrome Screenshare, Mic and Video get reset quite frequently. I can't pinpoint exactly what triggers it. If it's a Chrome update or OSX update.

EDIT: Just updated Chrome to 100 and sure enough it lost screen recording permissions. Camera and Mic were kept though.

If I had to guess it probably has to do with how Chrome updates itself, which is likely causing the OS to see it as a new binary that hasn’t had permissions set after each update.

I've been seeing this problem too at $JOB. Amusingly, the people on my team that use Firefox don't have these issues, but the Chrome users are seemingly losing the ability to screenshare daily.

I think this may be a somewhat more specific to your environment...I'm running on a new generation macbook pro (so M1+) and haven't had any trouble screen sharing

No, this is definitely a much more widespread issue than that. Every single person that has tried to screenshare in my Google Meet meetings the past week has experienced the same problem.
