My Mac computer is not allowing me to share my screen

I am trying to share my screen on my Macbook, but its saying that the screen share is blocked. What do I do?

The issue you are experiencing comes from default settings on your Mac computer that can be changed from the “System Preferences” menu.

To enable screen sharing for Google Chrome on macOS:

  1. Open System Preferences

  2. Click the Security and Privacy icon

  3. Select Screen Recording in the sidebar

  4. Click the box next to Google Chrome

  5. If prompted, click the Unlock icon in the bottom-left

  6. Click "Quit Now"

  7. Close out of Google Chrome and use your original test link to return to your exam.

This will allow you to change the settings on your MacBook so that you can share your screen while taking your exam.
