This article is intended for faculty and staff that wish to configure a Mac as your remote machine.

## Enabling Screen Sharing

[Follow the official apple guide to enable screen sharing.](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/turn-screen-sharing-on-or-off-mh11848/mac)

## Noting your Remote IP Address

Under **System** **Preferences → Sharing → Screen Sharing**, you should see a message in the screen sharing menu saying "your mac is visible at vnc:111.11.11.111."

Take note of this address and then see **[Setting Up Remote Desktop for macOS as a Local Machine](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/10784508530)**.
