Next, go to Security & Privacy

Finally, go to your "Screen Recording" Section and make sure both SoWork and Google Chrome have permissions depending on if you are using the App or Browser.

✨ Make sure that you give permissions to Google Chrome if you are using the browser version, and to SoWork if you are using the app.

✨ Commonly this issue can occur either when your OS updates, or the SoWork app updates. If you notice you have lost your ability to screen share after an update check your permissions first!

Windows Troubleshooting

In Windows, your permissions should default be turned on. To make sure you have given access, open your settings.
