Fix the black screen and the pointer that will not move
The guide separates two permissions that often look like one problem. Screen Recording lets another person see the desktop; Accessibility lets them control the pointer and keyboard. Watching and controlling therefore have their own complete paths.
Choose the meeting application and the actual macOS generation instead of filtering a generic checklist. Eight applications are covered, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams and TeamViewer, across seven macOS generations back to Mojave.
Use the names shown on the other Mac
The language of the Mac being configured is independent of the page language. Settings and click paths appear exactly as they are labelled on that machine, and the path can be copied straight into a support chat.
A practical workflow
- Select the application used for the call.
- Choose the macOS version of the Mac sharing its screen.
- Set that Mac’s interface language.
- Follow the numbered instructions or open the relevant System Settings pane directly.
- Continue to the remote-control section when mouse or keyboard access is required.
Private by design, limited to macOS
The application contains no network requests, telemetry or analytics. Every guide is delivered as finished HTML and remains readable without JavaScript; only theme and Mac-language preferences stay in local storage. The guide covers macOS only, and its own interface is available in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian.
