Unable to share screen between two Macs after updating both to Sequoia

I've been able to share screens with several friends since upgrading to Sequoia, but not with my sister's MacBook Air.


If I instigate a screen share from Messages on my computer, Facetime will ring on her iPhone but there is zero response on her Air. If she instigates screen sharing from her computer (from Messages), nothing happens on her computer and I don't see anything on my MacBook Pro.


Steps taken so far:


  1. Signed out of her iCloud account on both her iPhone and Air.
  2. Restarted both the iPhone and Air then logged back in on both.
  3. In General/Sharing/Content & Media, made sure Screen Sharing was on, clicked i to turn on Anyone can request permission to control screen, and Allow access for All users.
  4. In General/Sharing/Advanced, turned on Remote Login, clicked on the i to Allow full disk access for remote users.


I would be very thankful for any suggestions on how I might resolve this!


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3

I'm experiencing the same issue. Screen sharing attempts a FaceTime Audio call to the user's iPhone, but nothing on the MacBook Air. The user is logged into their iCloud account on both the MBA and iPhone. Screen sharing is initiated from another Sequoia iMac using the Ask to Share Screen within Messages. If the MBA attempts Screen Sharing, there is nothing that displays on the iMac to indicate a screen sharing attempt is being requested.


This has always worked prior to upgrading to Sequoia.


I also would be grateful for any tips and links to solve this.
