Zoom's Screen Share feature is very useful for a friend to show me a problem that he is having with his Macintosh.
However, occasionally it would be helpful for me to control his computer (or vice-versa) temporarily to illustrate something.
Which app can one use to control a friend's Mac remotely?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
If you both have Macs, it’s built in... Share screens using Messages on Mac - Apple Support

Teamviewer comes to mind.
Yowee! $25/month is more than I was expecting. But thanks for the suggestion, Bob. It's something to consider.
Why not use the free version?
Ooops, Maybe it does not exist any more. Sorry for not checking first.
Here it is: https://www.teamviewer.com/en-us/info/free-for-personal-use/
Oo-oo. Sneaky. Two very different websites. I'll give the free version a try. Thanks, Bob.
Oh, Wow! That's it! Thank you, Mr Hoffman!

That may work for you but I personally find Teamviewer the better option.
I hope you are able to help your friend. Best of luck.
Thanks for the rating. Now I have two things to try.
Thanks to you both. This has been an excellent experience for me.
