To setup your Mac to support screen sharing: If you prefer to be the one in the driver’s seat, then I’ll also be showing you how to request permission to view and control the screen of any other Mac on your network. In this article, I’m going to show you how to setup your Mac to support screen sharing, so your Mac is ready to receive incoming screen sharing requests. Taking control of someone else’s Mac can also be handy if you need to show a friend, family member or colleague how to perform a certain task on their computer, as it allows them to sit back and watch as you demonstrate exactly how it’s done. Screen sharing can be useful in a number of scenarios, but it’s particularly useful if you’re experiencing problems with your Mac, as it allows an engineer to remotely access your Mac, so they can experience the problem for themselves and perhaps even fix your Mac, without even being in the same room as you. Screen sharing is where you temporarily give someone else the ability to view and control your Mac’s screen, and vice versa.
