Screensharing in Microsoft teams need one time permission for users

I have noticed, when user start Microsoft teams screenshare for 1st time it asks for 'screen & System Audio Recording' permission

Warning box shows message as below

"Microsoft Teams (work or school)" would like to record this computer's screen and audio.
grant access to this application in privacy and Security settings, located in system settings.


As a user I am allowed to give this necessary permission, is this can be automated, so users don't have to perform additional step in 'privacy and Security settings' while they are on call?

As @sdagley says, its part of Apples security policy that the user has to approve it.

You can set up a config profile that allows standard users to enable 'ScreenCapture' [see image below where you can define all the apps you require it for in one CP] and you can use this script to prompt users to enable it for any app that requires it before they use it so they dont have to drop the call when it prompts to restart the app.

@Kalpeshw That is the expected behavior per Apple's Privacy Preferences Policy Control standards (https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/privacy-preferences-policy-control-payload-dep38df53c2a/w...) for access to a Mac's camera and microphone. You can block access, but not pre-approve access.
