Today marks the release of beta 5 and Apple has not implemented a way for standard users to enable screen recording. As a result they can&rsquo;t share their screen with common video conferencing solutions like Webex, Zoom, Google Meet, and others. Imagine an online class where the teacher isn&rsquo;t able to display a presentation or a student can&rsquo;t show their work. During the largest shift to remote learning ever, that&rsquo;s the future Apple delivered in beta 1, entirely missing the mark when it comes to how a large majority of their education customers use Macs. Apple has said they have plans to introduce ways for standard users to enable screen sharing, but as of beta 5 that&rsquo;s not the case.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>[July 22 was] the last time Apple has commented on screen recording access in Big Sur. No response through feedback assistant, enterprise support cases, or other community channels.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The general wisdom I always hear is filing feedback early in the beta cycle is better. My concern with screen recording in particular is we&rsquo;ll get a solution in a late beta, it won&rsquo;t meet the real needs of the user base, and then we&rsquo;ll be stuck with it. If the solution ships in beta 6, there&rsquo;s no time to provide feedback to improve the feature before GM. Considering Apple didn&rsquo;t even realize this was a problem before we filed feedback, I can&rsquo;t say I&rsquo;m confident in them developing a solution internally with no feedback from K12 or other education institutions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>I don&rsquo;t understand what problem Apple is solving by not allowing standard users to consent to record their screen.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/22\/detecting-screen-recording-permission-on-catalina\/\">Detecting Screen Recording Permission on Catalina<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/03\/vmware-fusion-10-on-macos-catalina\/\">VMware Fusion 10 on macOS Catalina<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/05\/mojave-privacy-protection-aftermath\/\">Mojave Privacy Protection Aftermath<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"screen-recording-in-big-sur-requires-admin-account-update-2020-09-11\">Update (2020-09-11): <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexbrooks\/status\/1268455735211569155\">Alex Brooks<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexbrooks\/status\/1268455735211569155\"><p>I should start an ongoing thread of all the basic things that macOS Catalina makes impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Today&rsquo;s doozy: Go to present in meeting, cannot share screen in Google Meet because it requires local admin approval.
