Apple is continuing work to bring SharePlay capabilities to Mac, with the first beta version of macOS Monterey 12.1 incorporating the screen sharing feature that debuted on the company’s other major platforms this week.
SharePlay enables Apple device users to stream movies, TV, music, their screens and other media during a FaceTime video call. Users can also view shared content on Apple TV while chatting on an iPhone or iPad.
A number of Apple apps support the feature, including Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple Fitness+, and Apple is allowing developers to integrate SharePlay experiences into their iOS and Mac apps.
In its announcement today, Apple says developers can build SharePlay experiences across its platforms without relying on the SharePlay Development Profile by using the GroupActivities entitlement. More information can be found on the SharePlay for Developers webpage.
