Requesting to share my screen from messages - worked before upgrade to sequoia on sonoma - message on other laptop does not arrive and no indication of message on originating laptop. checked screen sharing all settings are enabled on both laptops. connection is hardwire.
I can access network and see screen on other laptop...this works both ways.
Both laptops restarted.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0
Update: confirming that the problem still happens on MacOS 15.1 (though, when I select "ask to share screen" for someone in an iMessage thread, it now launches a FaceTime Audio call, like some other posters have mentioned. Previously for me at least in macOS 15.0, it did nothing at all. Worked correctly in macOS 14 and earlier.)
Using the Screen Sharing app still functions correctly -- just not able to initiate it from Messages. (In case some aren't clear about what we're talking about, see screenshot below.)
Are both your computers connected to the internet? YES VIA HARDWIRE CABLE INTERNET...NO WIFI.
Are you able to send any kind of Message between the two computers? YES WE CAN SEND MESSAGE TEXTS AND EMAIL FINE. I CAN LOG INTO THE OTHER COMPUTER VIA SCREEN SHARING - WHEN YOU LOOK ON THE NETWORK YOU SEE THE OTHER LAPTOP AND YOU CAN LOGIN AND THEN VIEW THEIR SCREEN.
Are they both signed into an Apple ID? YES, BUT DIFFERENT IDS OF COURSE.
Do both computers show up in Find My? YES
BOTH LAPTOP ARE NEW MACBOOK PRO M2 RUNNING THE LATEST SEQUOIA.
APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS. EARLIER I SHARED THAT I TALKED TO APPLE AND THEY RAN OUT OF TESTS AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT. WE VERIFIED THAT THE APP - SCREEN SHARING - WHICH I HAVE NEVER USED BEFORE BUT APPEARS TO BE THE CODE THAT MESSAGES IS ACTUALLY USING FOR THE INTERNAL "SHARING" FUNCTION - WORKS FINE FROM EITHER LAPTOP. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, SCREEN SHARING APP DOES NOT HAVE SOUND BUT WHEN YOU USING SHARING IN MESSAGES YOU GET SOUND AS WELL AS SCREEN.
DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW MY NOTE BUT WHEN I TRIED TO SHARE SCREEN TO A FAMILY MEMBER OFFSITE, WHEN I HIT "SHARE" AND SHARE MY SCREEN IT OPENED "FACETIME" AND CALLED HIM WITH SCREEN SHARING ENABLED. IT'S ALMOST LIKE SEQUOIA IS USING FACETIME TO IMPLEMENT SHARING INSIDE MESSAGES...
APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS.
BTW...IF ANYONE CAN DUPLICATE MY SETUP .... SEQUOIA TO SEQUOIA MESSAGES WITH SCREEN SHARING ENABLED AND CAN DO WHAT THIS APPLE DESCRIPTION EXPLAINS....
Share your screen using Messages on Mac - Apple Support
THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW. SO FAR NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THIS FUNCTION WORKS IN SEQUOIA.
To answer your question please see my original post - all screen sharing settings are checked on both laptops and both worked prior to upgrade.
what does "connection is Hardware" mean, exactly?

FYI, what you mean is "hardwired."
Same issue
Same issue here, cannot Screen Share between a MacBook Pro running Sequoia and a Mac Mini running Sequoia. It was working fine prior to updating both computers to Sequoia.
OK THANK YOU.
DESCRIBE? WHEN YOU SAY "SAME ISSUE" DO YOU HAVE TWO MACS WITH SEQUOIA THAT CAN'T SCREEN SHARE FROM MESSAGES?
Sorry no, not using Messages, just straight screen share
SCREEN SHARING APP WORKS BETWEEN MY TWO LAPTOP BOTH SEQUOIA
Via WiFi or hardwired? Did you have to do anything to get it to work?
I'M CURRENTLY USING WHY INHOUSE HARDWIRED ETHERNET.
NOTHING SPECIAL TO MAKE THE SCREEN SHARING APP WORK BUT I DID GO THROUGH AND CHECK ALL THE SHARING SETTINGS.
ALSO I AM ABLE TO GO TO THE FINDER, LOCATE THE OTHER LAPTOP, AND CONNECT TO THAT LAPTOP UNDER "LOCATIONS" BY LOGGING IN.
IF THE EXPLANATION IS THAT THIS FEATURE/FUNCTION IS NOT IMPLEMENTED CORRECTLY ON SEQUOIA 15.0 THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT. I CAN SEE HOW THEY MIGHT HAVE MISSED THIS IN THEIR TESTING PLAN.
Screen sharing not working on MacBook Pro M2
