Share Screen not working for eclipse on a window

Question

 I am unable to share screen, either entire screen or a window with Eclipse IDE. I am using a Mac but log onto Wyzant online tool using Chrome. Please advise.

It sounds like you’re experiencing trouble with screen sharing in Wyzant’s online tool while trying to display Eclipse IDE. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check Permissions: In Mac OS, you need to allow Chrome to record the screen. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Screen Recording. Make sure Google Chrome is checked.

2. Restart Chrome: Sometimes, a simple restart of the browser can fix minor issues.

3. Update Chrome: Make sure you’re using the latest version of Google Chrome. Outdated versions may experience compatibility issues.

4. Try a Different Browser: If the problem persists, try using a different browser to see if the issue is specific to Chrome.

5. Disable Hardware Acceleration: In Chrome, go to Settings > Advanced > System and disable “Use hardware acceleration when available”, then relaunch Chrome. Hardware acceleration can sometimes interfere with screen sharing.

6. Check Wyzant’s Supported Browsers: Make sure you’re using one of the recommended browsers for Wyzant’s online tool. Compatibility issues could arise if you’re using a non-supported browser.

If none of these solutions work, it might be helpful to contact Wyzant’s support team for assistance as they’re more familiar with their system’s specifics.
