Screen mirroring can be a fun way to watch movies, create a background, or play high resolution games. However, there are situations where your privacy is compromised. For example, if you are watching a movie on your phone and then want to take a break, the screen on your phone will show the movie while you are taking a break. If you are mirroring someone else’s screen and they are using their phone to watch a video or listen to music, their privacy is also compromised.

  1. Open System Preferences on your Mac.
