What should I do when I need to show a coworker something on my screen?

Screen sharing works well. I regularly use it when I'm showing my family something I'm doing by casting to the TV or one of our MacBooks.

That said, I don't think it supports casting "back" to the laptop that you're using for Mac Virtual Display. That would be a big improvement I think.

Realistically, if it's something on my Virtual Display, I just take of the VP for a moment and my MBP screen comes back on.

ETA: I just tried to stream back to the MBP that I'm using with Mac Virtual Display. It "works", but not in the way I'd hoped. My view is streamed to the MBP, but the screen doesn't come back on - instead, the virtual display shows what I'm seeing in the headset. Not helpful, and more than a bit nausea-inducing :(.

I had the spacetop laptops in mind when I asked the question.

They simply view it on their Vision Pro!

same thing we do today, hop on a call and screenshare.

i like how the assumption that coworker implied we weren't WFH now

Screen share + call is usually a better experience even if you’re just a few desks away from each other.

Even if i am in the office and someone is sitting right next to me i still do screenshare. I don't like leaning over peoples shoulder or having people over mine

Bump helmets.

This is so punk rock.
