Hi pinkbeak,



Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We understand others are seeing a black screen when you try to SharePlay with FaceTime. We'd like to help.


When this happens are you trying to share media that requires a subscription? Take a look at this resource: Use SharePlay to share screens in FaceTime on Mac - Apple Support


Specifically this section "When you're sharing your screen, others won't be able to see content that requires a subscription, a free trial, or a purchase or rental to view. With SharePlay, you can watch video togetherlisten to music together, or work out together by sharing content through supported apps."



We hope this helps.


Cheers!
