Recording – Screen Sharing on Mac

Setting a Mac to Allow Screen Sharing

For the best results, ensure that you have updated your Mac system to the latest version and that you have installed the latest version of your browser (e.g., Chrome).

 

macOS 12 (Monterey) and Safari

If Safari is set as your default browser and you use it to join video visits, you need to use Safari’s Websites preferences to set the screen sharing option.

1. When Safari opens, in the top menu, select Preferences and then click Websites.
2. In the left panel, select Screen Sharing.
3. In the Currently Open Websites panel on the right, click the drop-down field beside riverside.fm and select Ask.

 

macOS 10 (Catalina) – macOS 11 (Big Sur)
