Screen sharing is a useful feature on Mac that allows you to share your screen with another Mac user, either over the internet or on the same network. Here's how to enable screen sharing on your Mac:

  1. Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select 'System Preferences.'
  2. Click on 'Sharing.'
  3. Check the box next to 'Screen Sharing.'
  4. Select the user account that will have screen sharing enabled.
  5. Click on 'Computer Settings.'
  6. Choose the settings that you want to use for screen sharing, such as allowing remote control or limiting access to specific users.
  7. Click on 'OK.'

You have now enabled screen sharing on your Mac. To start sharing your screen, open the 'Screen Sharing' app (located in the 'Utilities' folder) and enter the Apple ID or IP address of the Mac you want to share your screen with.

Note that for remote screen sharing, you may need to adjust your network settings and firewall to allow the connection. It is also important to keep your Mac updated with the latest software and security patches to ensure that your data is protected.
