Not sure about Teams, but Google Meet allow you to share a specific browser tab, I don't know how to implement it without reading all the opened tabs.

There is a JavaScript API that abstracts this, so Google Meet/whatever asked can only read the "final" video stream of what you selected and not everything that's going on, which stays in your local browser.

Teams lets you share an application window or your display(s).
