Product Information
What is Apple screen sharing?
Screen Sharing is a VNC client developed by Apple Inc., included in Mac OS X v10.5. It enables remote viewing or control of any Macintosh computer on the local network that has screen sharing activated. It can also be used over the internet via iChat. Since Screen Sharing is a VNC client, it can control any computer running a VNC server if the target computer's IP address is known and accessible.
Now, you can authenticate with another Mac running OS X using an Apple ID to initiate a screen sharing session. This is perfect for granting others access to your Mac without creating separate user accounts. Simply add their Apple ID to the list of authorized users, and they can log in with their credentials.
The new "View Only" mode allows you to watch the remote computer without controlling the mouse or trackpad movements.
Screen Sharing includes a toolbar that provides access to useful tools and settings, such as screen resolution, clipboard access, and screen capture.
