How to share your Mac screen to solve problems with remote help

Depending on your level of knowledge, it can be tricky to solve any problems you may have on your Mac, leaving you with a faulty and unsolved computer. One way to get around the problem is to get help from an acquaintance who understands Mac more, but it is not always possible for him to visit you to help you. In this case, ideally, you should share the Mac screen so that it can remotely control your computer or at least guide you in solving problems. Learn how to read the tutorial below!

Sharing the Mac Screen

It is worth remembering that the method requires both to have Mac computers. To enable screen sharing on the Mac, go to  System Preferences and Sharing. From this menu, activate the Screen Sharing box. In addition, both need to have the contact card of the other on the computer so they can share the screen of the Mac. To begin the process, search for the term  Screen Sharing in the search and start it.

Then place the Apple ID of the person with whom you will be sharing the Mac screen in the box that will open. The person will receive an invitation and must accept to begin configuring the access division. After accepting the person, you must leave the Control My Screen option checked so that you can control your Mac.

A simpler way to share the Mac screen is through the Messages application for macOS. Open a conversation window with the person who will control your computer and click the Details button, located in the upper right corner of the window.

Then click on  Invite to share my screen so that it takes control of your screen or Ask to share screen to ask the other to share your screen with you. After that, the same confirmation screen of the previous method will appear for the guest.

To close the Mac screen share, simply access the Screen Sharing menu in the upper left corner of the screen and choose  Quit Screen Sharing to regain control of your computer.
