Computer-to-Mac — Screen Recording in macOS Catalina

Enable Screen Recording on macOS Catalina and Later

In addition to Accessibility permissions introduced in macOS Mojave, Apple added a new requirement starting with macOS Catalina. Apps must have Screen Recording access in order to share your display. Luna Display uses this permission to extend your desktop to a secondary device.

Note: Luna Display does not record, store, or transmit the contents of your screen. This permission only allows your display to be mirrored to another device.

How to Enable Screen Recording for Luna Display

  1. Click "Enable" when prompted during Luna Display setup.
