I'm having great luck with Screen Sharing on macOS 14.6 ( Sonoma ) I could rarely get it to work with macOS 13 Ventura after the first few times. I wonder why?

In other news - macOS will NOT let you play a DVD on any Mac that has it's screen shared. When it first happens - you get a solid gray window -it's very hard to not assume the disk or the drive is failing. Turn off sharing and it starts right up!

Maybe a tip for #macgeekgab
