Share screens using Messages on Mac
\nWhen you\u2019re having a conversation with someone in Messages, you can share your screen with them, or they can share theirs with you. It\u2019s a great way to work together on a project or help a friend do something on their computer.
\nShare a screen
\nIn the Messages app on your Mac, send a message to the person you want to share with, then click Details.
\nYou can\u2019t send a message to someone who\u2019s restricted by communication limits in Screen Time.
\nClick the Screen Share button , then do one of the following.
\nShare your screen: Choose Invite to Share My Screen.
\nView your friend\u2019s screen: Choose Ask to Share Screen.
\nWhen the screen-sharing request is accepted, an audio call begins automatically (so you can talk while you work) and the Screen Sharing app opens. For information about using the Screen Sharing app, see Share the screen of another Mac.
\nTo stop screen sharing, do one of the following:
\nIf you\u2019re sharing your screen: Click the Screen Sharing button in the menu bar, then choose End Screen Sharing. (If you\u2019re not ready to stop yet, choose Pause Screen Sharing; choose it again to resume sharing.)
\nIf you\u2019re viewing your friend\u2019s screen: Choose Screen Sharing > Quit Screen Sharing.
\nTip: Don\u2019t want someone to send you screen-sharing invitations? When you receive an invitation from them, hold the pointer over the Decline button, click the down arrow, then click Block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
