Recently Microsoft released a new update for Skype for Mac which bumped the app to v8.52.0.145. The latest update brought features like the ability to share a contact with someone in your contact list. Unfortunately, it also broke screen sharing on Skype for Mac users.

According to a thread on Microsoft Answers Community forum, users are unable to share their apps to other users. Microsoft hasn't released an official statement or a workaround but the original poster found a way to make it work until the bug is fixed.

Monitor Sharing For Mac

• Go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy.
• Scroll down until you see Screen Recording and click the Skype checkbox (Skype will close to apply the changes).
• Reopen the app and make a test call to see if the problem has been resolved

File Sharing Pc To Mac
