In tomorrow's regular episode, I'll be showing you how to use Mac Messages to screen share and then use that to read a book to a child that you may be separated from during this pandemic. This is a good idea, but it lacks two things. First, you can't SEE the child, nor can they see you. It is audio-only with screen sharing. Second, if all they have is an iPad, it won't work. It needs two Macs. So in this video I try it with Zoom. I'm just using a free account on the reader's end, and no account at all on the child's end. This works with audio AND video on both ends! So you can see the screen and the people. Plus, on the child's end I'm using an iPad. Doing this with a free account limits you in time, number of participants, and some pro features. But it works well.
