There are a lot of third-party apps and services that let you share your screen with another person or control the Mac of another user, but most of them have a cost associated with them. Mac OS X has a feature called <strong>Screen Sharing<\/strong> built into it that makes it simple for you to take over control of another Mac. Today we&#8217;re going to show you how that works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Mac(s)\u00a0you wish to control<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first thing you&#8217;ll need to do is to turn on Screen Sharing on each of the Macs you wish to control. Perhaps it&#8217;s a Mac that is being used by another person and you want to be able to show them how to perform some function, or maybe it&#8217;s a &#8220;headless&#8221; Mac with no monitor that&#8217;s being used as a server.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Launch System Preferences<\/li>\n<li>Click on Sharing<\/li>\n<li>Click the &#8220;On&#8221; box next to Screen Sharing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37025\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37025\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37025\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1.png\" alt=\"Turning on Screen Sharing\" width=\"640\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1.png 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1-151x120.png 151w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1-284x226.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1-190x151.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1-151x120@2x.png 302w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1-284x226@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-1-190x151@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turning on Screen Sharing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pretty simple, right? There are some other settings that can be made.

Using this method to control a headless server, you should definitely set up a password so that others cannot accidentally log in and change settings.<\/p>\n<p>The other setting is for who can actually have access to the Mac&#8217;s screen. Clicking the &#8220;All users&#8221; radio button provides everyone with access, and for the sake of security that&#8217;s probably not a good idea. Administrators &#8212; in this case the primary user of the Mac &#8212; are given access by defaults. Here, I&#8217;d need to know the user name and password for the Mac that I&#8217;m controlling. In a true server\u00a0environment with users and groups, a number of administrators can be assigned to a group and then that group can have access to all devices if desire. For home users, it&#8217;s probably best just to know the user name and password for the other Mac.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Mac that is controlling the shared Mac<\/strong><br \/>\nThat was pretty simple, right? It&#8217;s also simple to control the other Mac. Here&#8217;s how you do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click the Finder icon in the Dock<\/li>\n<li>Scroll the sidebar until you see Shared devices.

In the latter mode, the screen will scroll as you bring your cursor near the edge of the remote screen. It&#8217;s also possible to use the Mac&#8217;s Full Screen Mode, in which the remote Mac&#8217;s display fills your screen.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Clipboard button gives you the power to either copy something on your Mac and paste it onto the other Mac, or vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>While sharing a screen, the Mac uses a &#8220;Screen Sharing&#8221; app that has its own set of preferences. As seen below, those preferences provide a way to not only scale the screen like the Scaling button does, but also to change the quality of the remote Mac&#8217;s image and allow or block other users who may want to share the Mac&#8217;s screen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37033\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37033\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37033\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-10.jpg\" alt=\"Screen Sharing preferences\" width=\"640\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-10.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-10-284x67.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-10-190x45.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-10-284x67@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screensharing-10-190x45@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screen Sharing preferences<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Controlling another Mac through\u00a0Messages<\/strong><br \/>\nYou may have on noticed that the rightmost panel of the image above shows a lot of phone numbers as being blocked from doing screen sharing.
