Great explanation. Thanks!!

[@Touchtechnologyreview]

Glad it was helpful!

This is an excellent solution. Thank you Touch Technology Review. It worked for me on the same wifi network but NOT in a remote situation over internet. I checked the firewall settings as you suggested but just will not connect. The client MacBook I am trying to access is on Big Sur. My Mac is on Sonoma 14.7. I would love to get this to work. Thanks for any feedback you can give

Question - I have a weird question - Can you screen share with a mac mini would be on but would not have a monitor on? I am trying to run a old program that is only available on the mac mini since the OS is older.

[@wiekiangh.2542]

what if both machine using a different network or wifi connection? How to achieve the same solution?

[@DavidArnauts]

This only works local on the clients LAN...

A question so If I screen share a mac in canada from India and access some website the whose ip address would be shown on that website?

[@ruzaroos]

If you access the site from the computer in Canada, the website sees the computer in Canada. You should just use a VPN if all you want is a Canda IP.

How to do this over the Internet? I heard I can use Tailscale to make both Mac computers in the same virtual network so in theory, this screen sharing should work over the Internet.

[@CEPenney]

This only works if you are on the same network.

very cool - had no idea 👊

[@Touchtechnologyreview]

💯Great feature and nice that its built into the OS and so easy to use. 👍

[@jwingit]

This only works for me if both computers are on the same network (in my case hooked to the same wifi). Why does he say "in the household or in a remote location?"

[@C69hJc4]

Hi. Apple says you have to be on the same network for Screen Sharing. Are they wrong?

[@basic-2-advance]

Yes this only works for pc's/systems/laptops on the same network.

[@C69hJc4]

@@basic-2-advance I guess I’m confused what a “network” is then. I thought it meant connect to the same WiFi or wired network. I just used this feature with a couple of my friends in different states and it worked perfectly

[@basic-2-advance]

@@C69hJc4 Oh wow !I am trying this feature for the past few months and all I see is the screen sharing between mac's on the same wifi/network.May be can you share how to use this for remote screen sharing access between mac's on different wifi/network (in different cities/locations).

[@Zanthanee]

Never did get into Apple products. This sounds like a pretty handy thing tho...

[@Touchtechnologyreview]

Yeah it's a pretty cool feature and great that it is built in. You can do a similar thing with windows using a remote desktop software which I think is free to download. 👍
