If screen sharing isn’t working on your Mac, it’s often because macOS hasn’t granted your browser the required permissions. This guide walks you through checking and enabling the correct system settings so screen sharing works as expected.

  1. Open macOS System Settings and go to Privacy & SecurityScreen & System Audio Recording.

  2. Find your browser (for example, Chrome) and toggle it on to allow screen recording.

  3. Return to Pencil Spaces. When prompted, click Quit & Reopen to apply the changes.

  4. If the issue continues, refer to this advanced troubleshooting guide.
