Things to Remember

Note:While screen sharing is also possible through third-party video conferencing apps like Zoom and Google Meet, you can use the SharePlay feature to listen to music or watch a movie together with the person on the other side of the FaceTime call.

How to Share Screen on FaceTime on Mac

While the process of sharing screen on FaceTime on Mac is largely the same as on iPhone, here you can decide whether to share your entire screen or just one window. Here’s how:

App:Choose App, andmove the pointer to the window you want to share.

Window:Choose Window and move the pointer to the window you want to share.

Screen:Choose Screen and move the pointer to any part of the screen.

And that’s it; this is how you share screen on FaceTime on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. While there is no denying that FaceTime has always been feature-rich and easy to use, this native screen-sharing feature has made Apple’s video-calling app more capable than ever.

While there can be various software glitches due to which you can’t share the screen on FaceTime, the most common reason behind this issue is that SharePlay might be disabled on your iPhone or Mac. Here’s how you enable SharePlay on iPhone:Go toSettings > FaceTime > SharePlay > Toggle On SharePlay

On your Mac,Go to Settings > General > Sharing > Toggle On Screen Sharing.Also, you must turn off Remote Management if enabled, as you can’t have both Screen Sharing and Remote Management on simultaneously.
