   WARNING: The person remotely controlling your screen can perform tasks like opening windows or files, changing settings, or restarting your Mac. You can click Don’t Allow to deny a control request, and you can stop remote control at any time.

The person remotely controlling your screen may be restricted from tasks such as changing your Apple Account settings, making payments, or erasing your device. Your Touch ID is disabled during a remote control session.

You can still type, scroll, or move your pointer while your screen is remotely controlled—your actions take priority over remote actions.

When you receive a remote control request notification, click Don’t Allow. Screen sharing continues, and the other participant can still draw or write on your screen to highlight important areas.

Do one of the following:

• If someone is controlling your screen: Click in the menu bar, then click Allow Control. (The button is dimmed.)

• If you’re controlling someone else’s screen: Click in the toolbar of the Screen Sharing window.

Ending a FaceTime call also ends remote control and screen sharing.
