On the Mac you want to share, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Sharing, select Screen Sharing, then note the name and address of the Mac (it’s listed on the right). The name looks like “iMac (7)” or “Joe’s MacBook Pro.”. The address looks like vnc://IPAddress or vnc://Name.Domain. I cannot remote control a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14 from my Windows 10 laptop. Working from home. Mar 15, 2017 Some apps, like Dropbox and Steam, will ask to “control this computer using accessibility features.” But what the heck does that even mean? The wording is. Click the button Open System Preferences. You will be taken to the Accessibility section of the Privacy pane, inside the Security & Privacy.
If you are starting TeamViewer on your Mac running macOS 10.15 (Catalina) for the first time, you will be prompted with the following dialog:
By default, all permissions are set to Denied. Please give permission to the system capabilities manually to use TeamViewer as desired. If you or others need to access the Mac remotely, Screen Recording and Accessibility are required at a minimum.
To allow the access, click the buttons shown in the dialog. Eg. click Open Full Disk Access Preferences... which will bring you to the Full Disk Access section of the Privacy pane, inside the Security & Privacy preferences:
For the Accessibility access you will need to click the padlock icon in the lower-left corner to make changes. You will be prompted to enter the credentials of an administrator account to continue.
Put a check next to TeamViewer to grant it access:
Repeat the same for Screen Recording and Accessibility if desired. Those are required to control your Mac.
Click again on the padlock in the lower-left corner to prevent further changes.
