FAQs
Why doesn’t Chrome let me share my screen on macOS Catalina?
Because macOS Catalina introduced Screen Recording privacy permissions. Chrome must be allowed under Screen Recording to capture and share your screen.
Do I need to restart Chrome after enabling Screen Recording?
Yes. Quit and reopen Chrome for the change to apply.
Where is Screen Recording in macOS settings?
In System Preferences / System Settings → Security & Privacy / Privacy & Security → Screen Recording.
