In previous version of OS X you can screen share with another Mac using iChat.
Now that iChat has been replace with Messages, how can I screen share with another Mac?
Same way. You can still share screens with people from the 'Buddies' menu option.
Thanks for the answer, but when I click on "Buddies" dropdown, the option for "Share my screen with XXX" is grayed out. Then if I click on "Show Profile" for the person, there's a list of different capabilities (like Chat, Send files, etc.), but none for Screen Sharing. Should there be?
So is there something that needs to be changed or enabled on either end to make screen sharing possible through Messages?
It depends on what service they're using. I know AIM can do it, but I'm not really sure about the other services
The problem is, I can't recall either of us every signing up with AIM. When I last use screen-sharing to fix a problem on her computer, we were both on SL, and I don't remember the details for signing up with iChat. Wouldn't we have both just used our email addresses only?
Apart from that, it seems odd that ML doesn't seem to have an easy way to do this. Or is there a way apart from using Messages?
And just to confirm, cmChimera, if you yourself are chatting with someone in Messages, you're saying that you can just click on "Buddies" and the Share Screen option is there and clickable?
Thanks for the help...
