How do I screen share between Mac and MacBook Air?

Same as the topic, how do I screen share my Mac and MacBook Air? I have both pop them linked to the thunderbolt cables (thunderbolt bridge) and I am pressing command F2. What else is there to do? Is the cable not working?

Thanks

How do I screen share between iMac and Macbook? I managed a while ago to screen share and didn't write it down. My bad. So now I'm stuck because none of the descriptions I have found work. I work with High Sierra on my iMac (no, it doesn't accept higher). I need to screen share with my macbook and that is running Catalina and pages documents do not transfer between the two. Long story short, I need to work on my iMac but with the screen of the laptop. How do I get there? Any help very much appreciated :)

Macbook Pro to iMac - Sharing Options Hi, Given that i am working from home now, I'm looking to utilise my Home iMac (Late 2015) and my Work MacBook Pro (15-inch 2016). What i'm trying to achieve is: A: Use the iMac as a second screen or B: A robust file transfer method - ideally so that i can access the files and drives of MacBook pro Airdrop is not an option for me, and the ethernet bridge from iMac to the pro's usb c (using adapters) has not worked (i believe the work security settings are preventing connectivity, as i can find it on the network). Screen sharing app has worked, but it is not a second screen and has much lag. Any help to achieve the above would be much appreciated. Happy to use Hardware and/or Software solutions to implement this. Thanks
