You might not need a third-party app when you want to screen share between two Macs. Thanks to built-in screen-sharing, you can share a screen over the local network or the internet.
To avail of the feature, your Screen Sharing setting should be enabled. You can also set screen sharing preferences, set viewing options, send files, and even share contents of the Clipboard.

#2. Teamviewer
A viral screen-sharing app for Mac and Windows, and rightly so. TeamViewer offers a full remote access suite that packs various enterprise features.
The app lets you connect and control another computer, its keyboard, and mouse. Making it an excellent asset for support and training business.
Moreover, you can also record screen sharing sessions and refer them back when in need. However, it might be slightly complicated for casual users and basic screen sharing needs.
Price: Free
Download TeamViewer
#3. Skype
While Skype is a widely popular video-calling app, it is also a reliable screen sharing solution. Though it’s not as feature-full as others in the list.
For instance, it only shows your screen to others; they can’t control it. Moreover, it does not support PowerPoint integration or screen sharing from mobile apps
In saying so, it manages to a pretty decent job for basic screen sharing needs. Another added advantage is that the feature is free to use.
Price: Free

#4. Screenleap
Screenleap offers an effective screen sharing service without being too complicated or heavy-duty. It’s perfect for those who don’t want to install a full-fledged application on their computer.
With just a Chrome extension, you can quickly share your screen with anyone over the internet. Screenleap lends you a permanent URL that can be used to join the session when you’re sharing.
This makes the app great for recurring meetings, and quick access sharing, such as webinar-style sessions and sales demos.

#6. USE Together
As the name suggests, the app allows multiple users to simultaneously work over the host’s screen while on a voice call.
All participants have their own mouse cursors that they can use to control the screen. Basically, you can interact with the display and apps as if all are at the same desk.
Whether you want to work together on code, write, design, or just play something together, all is possible. This feature is particularly helpful for activities like pair programming and designing.
Price: Free (In-app Purchases start from $10/Month)

#7. Slack
An efficient team management app that lets you manage your teammate’s screen as well. The sharing includes features such as host switching, collaborative annotation, and participants can use their cursor on the host’s screen.
For the last part, the host needs to allow access by clicking on the cursor icon. Moreover, the sessions are private, between members of the channel.
Each session is recorded and saved like other communication logs. So, if you are already using Slack, you don’t need another screen sharing tool.
Price: Free (Standard plan – $8 Per Month)

#8. Zoom
Zoom is a feature-full video-calling app. And along with changing the background at your will, it also allows screen sharing between participants.
The app auto-adjusts the video quality depending on bandwidth. It is this feature that makes screen sharing on zoom quite seamless even under bad network conditions.
This is great for webinars as well; wherein multiple hosts can access the same presentation screen to annotate. Users can host screen sharing from a laptop or mobile apps.

CrankWheel uses screen sharing as a way of lead generation. Instead of co-browsing, your exact screen is broadcasted for the client’s perusal.
It is basically designed for the sales teams to connect and convert hard-to-reach prospects. A plus point is that your client can view your screen via any browser, whether from desktop or mobile.
Moreover, it offers an easy-to-use interface, so the sales rep can concentrate on the pitch rather than setting the app.

After All, Sharing Is Caring!
The right or shall I say that the best screen sharing Mac app for you will depend entirely on need, usage, participants, and of course, budget. What is your favorite screen-sharing app?
If you want something basic, Skype or Zoom might suffice. Though, if you want something extremely collaborative, then Teamviewer, USE Together or Jump Desktop are also great.
