# 8x8 Work for Web Screen Sharing Breaks on Chrome

## Symptom

Users with a pending Chrome update who attempt to share screens in 8x8 Work for Web on Chrome on MacOS, see that their screen sharing breaks or stops working.

## Applies To

## Resolution

Before you begin, ensure you are on the latest version of Chrome. Once updated follow the steps below.

1. Go to **System Preferences** > **Security & Privacy** > **Privacy Tab** > **Screen Recording**.
2. Click the lock labeled **Click the lock to make changes**.
3. When prompted, enter an admin username and password.
4. If it’s already checked, uncheck the box for Google Chrome in the list on the right side.
5. If prompted, choose **Later**.
6. Check the same box for Google Chrome that you just unchecked.
