macOS Screen Share

A feature on Apple-macOS versions X and later that allows for screen sharing between two Mac devices.

Screensharing is disabled by default on macOS. To enable it, navigate to System Preferences > Sharing > Check Screen Sharing. Screen Sharing allows for the specification of specific users who are authorized to connect to the system.

To allow non-Mac systems to connect, enable the VNC view setting and set a password.

There are two screensharing modes:

• control mode
• observe mode

Control Mode

Control Mode allows you to control the system directly, interacting with the UI and using your keyboard and mouse as if it was at the device itself.

Observe Mode

Observe Mode simply allows the connector to view the screen of the system, leaving control in the hands of the user.
