Initial Setup (Macintosh)
In order to allow Screens to connect to your computer, you'll need to make sure it is configured properly.
- Open System Preferences → Sharing.
- Enable Screen Sharing:
- Make sure that your user has the required permissions to use the service - Allow access for all users or add every user you'd like to use with Screens in the allowed list.
-
If you'd like to use a secure connection when using Screens, enable Remote Login.
- Again, make sure that your user has the required permissions to use the service.
- Note that only Standard and Administrator users can connect via Screen Sharing.
Your Mac will broadcast its presence through Bonjour, which allows Screens to detect it automatically.
Remote Management
Screens will work just as well with Remote Management service instead of Screen Sharing. However, make sure you set the correct settings:
Firewall
If the OS X Firewall is running, make sure that Screen Sharing and Remote Login (if you'd like to use a secure connection) are allowed to receive incoming connections.
