【CNMO News】On December 14, Apple officially brought macOS Monterey 12.1 updates to Mac users. With the unveiling of the new version of the system, the "simultaneous broadcast sharing" function has also come to the Mac. Users can now use FaceTime on macs to watch a show, listen to music, or share a screen with each other.
macOS Monterey
The way to share your screen with "Simulcast Share" in FaceTime is very simple, just open the app interface you want to share in the call, click the FaceTime button in the menu bar, and then click the "Screen Share" button to get it done. At this point, you can share the window by tapping "Select Window" and clicking on the specific app interface. Or you can share the whole screen by tapping "Select Screen".
Use Simulcast Sharing to share your screen
In addition, using FaceTime "Simulcast Sharing" to listen to music is also a good choice. When making a FaceTime call on your Mac, simply move your mouse over any song or album in the Music app and tap the Play button to start playing the music, at which point both parties can hear the song that is currently playing. And everyone on the call can control playback, manage a shared backlog queue, and view lyrics, further improving playability.
It's worth noting that "simultaneous sharing" doesn't require everyone to use a Mac. Even if the other person is using an iPad or iPhone, or if we are using an iPad or iPhone, we can receive content shared by the Mac.
Apple Music "voice-activated" solution
In addition to simulcast sharing, macOS Monterey 12.1 also adds new features such as Apple Music's "voice-activated" program, security features for children and parents in the Messaging app, and "Memories" in the redesigned photo app. If you're using a Mac, you might want to take the time to upgrade to the latest system.
