I have stated one reason what this may not be working with this person ( Sierra no longer does it for Buddies but the app does not check the ID is from the iMessages account) Using Messages does not automatically make them all Contacts. You have not said this is not a Buddy but an iMessages Contact.

Only someone with an iMessages Apple ID on a Mac at the other end can do this.īut BUDDIES linked to Accounts that have Buddy Lists cannot do it If the person is A BUDDY (which came from iChat) then you cannot do this in Messages.

In will do the same for Video and Audio Only chats by Invoking FaceTime (like it has for some while in version 8 in Mavericks and Yosemite - call it cross over if your being polite or confusing two style video and Audio chat plus Screen Sharing options if you are not being polite). You're then restricted to using the ID you use in iMessages. Contacts (iMessages chats) will sort of do Screen Sharing by invoking an outside app. The Main window with Details Drop down showing in a AIM chat If you were using AIM to AIM to Jabber to Jabber (including Google Talk IDs) to Video Chat or Screen Share you can no longer do it. Only FaceTime (outside app) and the Screen Sharing invokes the outside called Screen Sharing app.Īs you can also see there is no Video Menu. The icons remain at the bottom of the Buddy Lists but are not active.Īlong the way we have lost this "iChat method" and only have access in an iMessages chat to outside (Messages) apps invoked from the Details option. To be clear the "iChat" method to starting a Video chat was to use either a Buddy list and the Green icons or the list and the icons at the bottom. The most recent change was the iChat Video and Audio Chats along with the in-app Screen Sharing that was linked to a VNC connection with a connected Audio Chat. We cannot change the size of the font much either, let alone colour it like we could before. We cannot use different coloured balloons. It has been some while since we have be able to change the Font - now a limited choice in the General Section of the Preferences.
Since and more so in Version 9 in El Capitan some of those things have changed (been removed)
Messages was made by adding the iMessages account to iChat and changing the name.Īt that time you had a Format and a Video menu before you got to the Help menu. Several long calls to Support probably cost more than the cost of adding a dialog window. I have no idea how they're signed in to their computers, or if they're using their Apple IDs to log into Messages, or getting a massage, or if they're standing, sitting, dancing or whatever.Ī suggestion to Apple: Instead of just graying out icons and menus, how about a dialog window that says what's wrong? Playing detective is NOT fun for customers and I'm sure it takes a LONG time for your Support agents to figure out what the issue is. Again, my Mac and Messages otherwise work fine. The graying out changes when I go from person to another person, without making any changes to my Mac and without restarting it, or quitting and restarting Messages. When I look under the Buddies menu while chating with these people, Invite to Share My Screen and Ask to Share Screen are not grayed out. I can click the Screen Sharing icon and screen sharing works. Other people I can chat with in Messages, but their Screen Sharing button is not grayed out.When I look under the Buddies menu while chating with these people, Invite to Share My Screen and Ask to Share Screen are also grayed out. Solutions that start with "Just click the Screen Sharing icon" do not work. Some people I can chat with in Messages, but the Screen Sharing button is grayed out.Screen sharing is turned on in System Preferences. I'm not running any third-party VPN or security software. I've used Macs since the MacPlus, so I'm very familiar with them, and I don't run any funny third-party software.

Tours of old software are not relevant or helpful. I have the same problem in Sierra and I didn't use this feature in previous OS versions.
