Two easy ways to share your Mac screen

During this entire quarantine period in which we cannot leave the house, anything can happen to us, which in other circumstances are easy to solve. But now, the fact that our Mac does not work as it should, can make us have to use imagination. If we want to share a screen with another person, we tell you two ways to do it that work well.

iMessage and Apple ID. Two different ways to share screen with other users.

If during this period you need someone to access your computer to solve a problem, you have to do it remote form.

If the other user have iMessageTherefore, it also uses Mac, we have it easier. All we have to do is open a thread in the messaging application. Give in details, top right and then click on the screen sharing icon (two rectangles that overlap each other). We can choose whether we want to share your screen or ours.

But if you don't have iMessage, but if you have a Mac, we can share the screen using the Apple ID of that person. The way to do it is easy as long as we know how to do it.

We have to access an application that is not visible. To do this we just have to enter in Spotlight the following path:

HD / System / Library / CoreService / Applications

Normally that Apple ID, is usually the email of the person with whom we want to share the screen. The other person will receive a request to accept sharing.

Any of the two ways are simple to perform. Logically through iMessage, everything is simpler. But you already have two possibilities, just in case the first one you try does not give positive results.

Too bad we can't do the same with other devices from Apple. The minutes of conversation that we would save when they call us to solve problems on iPhone or iPad.

    Thanks a lot! Look, I've been using Apple equipment for years, and I've always wondered how their tech support connects with a customer's computer in seconds. They use "Screen Sharing"!

    You have a small error in the path to those tools: it is HD / System / Library / CoreService / ApplicationS

    Thank you very much for your article!
