# Enable screen recording permissions for Live

If you are running macOS Catalina — version 10.15 — or later, you must grant access to the new Screen Recording Permission in order to share your screen during a Dscout Live session. Changing this security setting requires you to restart the Chrome browser, so be sure you complete this and any other readiness checks more than 24 hours before your session.

### How to grant access to Chrome Screen Recording Permission

1. Manually open **System Settings**
2. Click on **Privacy & Security**
3. Scroll down and choose **Screen & System Audio Recording** in the sidebar
4. Click the box next to **Google Chrome** or **Microsoft Edge** (select the browser you'll be using for your session) to allow screen sharing for your Dscout Live session.
5. A pop-up should appear indicating that Chrome or Edge will need to be quit before it is able to record the contents of your screen. Click **"Quit Now"** to exit out of all running instances of Google Chrome.
6. **Reopen your browser** and finish your [Live To-Do List](/interview-studies/participate-in-live-missions/your-live-desktop-to-do-list.md)!

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you disable the **Screen Recording** permission in System Preferences, you’ll need to enable it again later.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/interview-studies/live-technical-requirements/enable-screen-recording-permissions-for-live.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
