Installing Screens Connect for macOS

Installation 

Download Screens Connect.

Decompress the .zip file.

Launch the application.

When macOS prompts to open the app file, click Open.

Respond to the prompt offering to move Screens Connect to the /Applications folder. Due to security restrictions introduced with macOS Sierra, this is mandatory for automatic application updates. We recommend this location for all users, regardless.

Follow the on-screen Welcome Guide to complete set-up.

Stopping Service/Uninstallation

Click the Screens Connect icon to display the menu.

Click Stop Screens Connect.

Older versions may not include this feature. In this case, download our uninstallation tool.

Signing in with your Screens ID within Screens

Your Screens ID is what links your computers where Screens Connect is installed and Screens. You need to sign in with your ID within the app in order for it to be able to contact our Screens Connect server and retrieve information necessary to connect back to your computers remotely.
