Screen Sharing declarative configuration for Apple devices
Use the Screen Sharing configuration to set viewer and server-side configurations to define the behavior of the high-performance macOS screen sharing capabilities available on a Mac with Apple silicon. Using the media engine, screen sharing over high-bandwidth connections feels responsive and fluid and allows users to scrub through video or work on complex 3D models while remotely accessing a Mac.
The Screen Sharing configuration supports the following:
Minimum supported operating system versions and channels: macOS 14 device, macOS 14 user.
Requires supervision: No.
Supported enrollment methods: Device Enrollment, Automated Device Enrollment.
Connection settings
