Google Meet on my Mac OS 26.2 says that I need permission to share my screen during video calls

  • No replies
  • 0 have this problem

Trying to use Google Meet on my new Mac (OS 26.2) using Firefox (140.7.0esr (aarch64)) However, when I attempt to share my screen during a video call I get the following message instead: "Meet needs permission to screen share. You must grant permissions in order to screen share" but it does not provide instructions or links to where I need to grant these permissions. This is only happening when I try to use Google Meet or Zoom with Firefox. If I use Chrome (which I prefer not to) from the same Mac computer, I am able to do screen share with both Google Meet and Zoom. I have already tried the following: added Firefox to the Mac OS privacy & security accessibility and camera settings AND added both Zoom and Meet to the Firefox to the Firefox Privacy settings to "Allow" camera access. However none of this worked. What specific Firefox or Mac OS setting must I turn on so that I may do screen shares during video calls?
