Screen share between M1 and intel Mac

Hi


Is it possible to share "M1 MacBook Air" screen with "Intel based MacBook Pro" via the Screen Share feature in iMessage ?


Could someone try it and let me know.

Even I don't have a M1 to test the feature, there are always some which works like magic and some which don't. I just need someone who does have access to both of them do a test and confirm that it does work.


When I googled I did come across some issues with Screen Sharing of M1 MAC saying it should be in English language I am not sure if that is any way related to the iMessage screen sharing. Buying Mac is a lot of investment and I hope the thing which matters the most work and works reliably.

Yes for sure.


You might want to consider purchasing an M1 Mac and testing with it. Apple does allow you to obtain a full refund (via the Order Status page) if you start the return process within the first 14 days of receiving your Mac.

I am not sure what "iMessage" screen sharing you are referring to,

but macOS Screen Sharing (set in System Preferences->Sharing) works

just fine. I have an M1 MacBook Air and can routinely "look" at my

older MacMini that I use as a home server and have also tested

sharing a late 2013 27" iMac with the MacBook Air and also the reverse

without any issue.
