May 29, 2019  Recall from the earlier screenshot that our Mac’s screen can be accessed at 192.168.0.118 or Matt-Air.local. If you’re unsure how to access your Mac, go back to your Sharing preferences and double-check the information on the Screen Sharing settings. We enter “192.168.0.118” in our VNC client and leave the encryption as it is. Screen sharing software. Quick & Easy Sharing. Click the 'Share your screen now!' Button above to start sharing your screen. Installation-Free Viewing. View from any device with a browser (including PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones) without installing any software. Frictionless Collaboration.

People always ask me what I use for screen sharing. My answer: Screen Sharing. As in, “Screen Sharing.app,” which is built in to your mac. And guess what:

I’ll take it a step further:

Screen Sharing.app is the best screen sharing application around. You should use it if you can.

“But wait,” you say, “I don’t have it on my Mac. I’ve looked in my Applications folder and it doesn’t show up in Spotlight search.”

You have it! And you’re right: not only is it not where you expect it to be, but it doesn’t show up in Spotlight.

Where is Screen Sharing.app on my Mac?

It’s here: /System/Library/Core Services/Screen Sharing.app

Benefits

• Highest quality screen sharing experience
• Fastest screen sharing experience
• Both host and remote can control the screen
• CMD+TAB changes the app on host machine
• Based on VNC but waaaaayyyyy faster so Linux and Windows VNC users can connect to
• Has observer-only mode if you want that
• Clipboard syncing between remote/host

Screen Sharing Mac To Mac

Cons

• Requires a direct connection to host machine: VPN, IP Address, etc.
  • That means firewalls might block it.
• Can be slow with slower internet connections

There are two ways:

Double-Click It

Allow Screen Sharing Mac

• Go go Macintosh HD => System => Library => Core Services
• Double-click on Screen Sharing.app

Apple Screen Sharing App

GO to it

Mac Screen Sharing Free Apps

• Finder => Go => Connect To Server
• Enter vnc://address.of.host.machine.example.com
• Bonus: save the addresses by clicking the + button!

Now that I’ve convinced you to use Screen Sharing.app to remote pair, you need to allow screen sharing connections to your Mac in order to host:

• System Preferences => Sharing
• Screen Sharing: check it!
  • Note: The vnc://x.x.x.x address is the IP address on your local network people can use to connect to your machine. VPN users can likely use this address.
