Since telecommunication has recently gained prominence, screen sharing has rapidly become an expected component of all modern video conferencing programs. Video conferencing services like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet have had this capability for some time now because it is essential for teamwork and presentations. Apple’s FaceTime video chatting service has finally caught up with features like screen sharing and seamlessly sharing media with pals (such as movies, TV episodes, and music). 

You may now use FaceTime to broadcast your computer screen directly from your Mac to facilitate more excellent teamwork. So, let me demonstrate how to share screen facetime!

What Are The Specifications For Mac FaceTime Screen Sharing?

Sharing screen facetime in macOS Monterey is nearly identical to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. After starting a FaceTime call, you can show what you see on your screen to other people by clicking the screen-sharing icon. The minimum system requirements are an Apple device running macOS 12.1, iOS 15.1, and iPadOS 15.1. It is important to note that the host device and all participants’ devices must run one of the supported operating systems.

Is Screen Sharing Possible in FaceTime with Android and Windows?

Unfortunately, FaceTime doesn’t support screen sharing with Android or Windows devices. You can call it Apple’s tried-and-true tactic of making essential functions available only on Apple devices, or you can call it an attempt to encourage those who don’t already use Apple products to make a move. Apple FaceTime is now available on Android and Windows devices, but you still have to deal with this unavoidable truth, for better or worse.

Conclusion

We wrap up this tutorial on using facetime share screen functionality in macOS 12 Monterey. The fact that Apple’s video chatting app has always been feature-rich and simple to use is undeniable. Still, the addition of a native screen-sharing function has expanded its usefulness. My only gripe is that non-Apple customers will be included in the fun because Apple only makes this excellent new feature available on its own devices.
