Why is Apple Support Screenshare's Accept - Agree not coming through when on phone to Advisor

Why is Apple Support Screen share's Accept - Agree not coming through when on phone to Advisor. I have moved from an old mac mini to a new mac mini. We then have to switch t the Ara.apple method which is more time consuming. Thee must be a reason. Is there an issue with this in OSX Mojave perhaps ?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

One way to block an inbound screen sharing session is to have your Firewall set to block all incoming connections. You should be certain that the person on the other end is really an Apple Advisor and not someone asking for your credit card, and you have a last Time Machine backup before they begin screen sharing.


You can check that setting in Ventura at Settings > Network > Firewall > Options panel.
