How to enable screen sharing for Daily.co
1. When you first join a Daily.co meeting on macOS Catalina, you’ll be asked to enable
the Screen Recording permission for Google Chrome.
When you see the following dialog, click "Open System Preferences".
If you do not see the dialog above or you are unable to screen share, manually open
System Preferences, click the "Security and Privacy" icon and then choose "Screen
Recording" in the sidebar.
2. In the Screen Recording section click the box next to Google Chrome to allow
screen sharing for your Daily.co video calls. You may need to click the unlock icon in
the bottom-left.
3.Next, click "Quit Now". You will not be able to screen share until you quit and restart
Google Chrome.
4. Rejoin your video call. You should now be able to screen share!

Note: If you disable the Screen Recording permission from System Preferences, you'll
need to re-enable it again in the future.
