Screen sharing is a key requirement for participating in remote proctored assessments. If you are using a macOS device with Google Chrome, you need to grant screen sharing permissions to ensure a smooth experience during your test. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Steps to Enable Screen Sharing Permission for Google Chrome

1. Understand the Basics of macOS Privacy Settings

macOS prioritizes your privacy by requiring explicit permissions for apps to access certain features. To share your screen during a proctored assessment, you must enable Google Chrome's access to the "Screen Recording" feature. Note that "Screen Recording" in this context does not record your screen—it simply allows sharing during the test.

2. Check System Requirements

Before you begin, ensure the following:

• macOS Version: Your device should run macOS Catalina (10.15) or later. Older versions may not support screen sharing permissions.
• Google Chrome Version: Use the latest version of Chrome for the best performance.

3. Update Google Chrome

To ensure compatibility:

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click the three vertical dots (top-right corner).
3. Go to Help > About Google Chrome.
4. Chrome will check for updates. If an update is available, click Relaunch to apply it.
