You’re talking about through FaceTime, right? Or is there another native screen sharing app that I am unaware of?

  A different one: it’s called “Screen Sharing.app” and it’s under Utilities. After you open it, press “Connections -> New” and start typing a contact name. They get a little notification if they are online, and if they accept you have a seamless screen sharing experience ready to go. It’s honestly magic for the “my parents have an error message and don’t know what to do” situation. I assume they have you in their contacts as well for it to work.

    For my parents: “under utilities” means it’s mostly impossible to use. What does under mean? What are utilities, are they different from apps? Can I Google search that? Where is connections? What is a connection, is that like a friend? Glad to see your parents are tech savvy, but this reads like you live in a very different reality from mine.

      Perhaps google the thing before jumping to conclusions, or saying I live in a different reality. Your parents don’t need to run the app at all. You need to run the app. Unless you really do live in a different reality where you want your parents to help you out when you see an error message you don’t understand?
