According to Apple, macOS Sonoma boasts a new high-performance mode in the Screen Sharing app that \u201cuses the advanced media engine in Apple silicon to enable highly responsive remote access over high-bandwidth connections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it live ups to Apple\u2019s hype? You can test it for yourself. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Launch the Screen Sharing app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Screen

\u00b0 Choose from the list of previous shared connections, or click the plus sign at top right to add a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Enter the Apple ID of the owner of the screen with whom want to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shared

\u00b0 Once you request to connect to someone\u2019s Mac, he\/she will get a notification that \u201cYour Name* would like to view your screen\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 <\/strong>Once accepted, a new window opens up. Here, your friend can choose between allowing you to Control my screen<\/strong> or Observe my screen<\/strong>. Once the option is selected, they can click on Accept.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Control-Observe
Control-Observe My Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 The first option lets you control his\/her screen. The second option just lets you, well, observe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been using Macs for a while, this process may sound familiar\u2014and it is. Mostly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for example, when you launched the Screen Sharing app in macOS Ventura, a simple dialog popped up asking for the other person\u2019s Apple ID. With macOS Sonoma, you\u2019re shown a list of folks with whom previously connected. And you can edit that list, adding folks, deleting folks, or creating new sharing groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to end Screen Sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once screen sharing has started, the user whose screen is being remote controlled has a new menubar icon to End Screen Sharing. He\/she also has the option to pause the screen sharing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
