I'm trying to find a way to share my computer screen on FaceTime because my little cousin wants to watch me play games. She only has FaceTime, and I can't use something like Discord due to parental controls on her computer. I've tried using FaceTime on my own computer to share my screen, but I haven't had any luck. What are some solutions?

Can’t you just use the Share button in FaceTime on your Mac? I thought that would let you screen share, too.
You could set up a private YouTube stream using OBS to share your gameplay. Just share the link with her, and you can even add your webcam and mic. The downside is she won't be able to talk to you directly while you’re playing, but it’s a workaround!
True, but you can still use the YouTube chat for free to communicate!
Isn’t this what Apple’s "SharePlay" feature is made for? If you’re on macOS, you can use SharePlay in FaceTime. Here are some guides: [macOS SharePlay](https://support.apple.com/en-kg/guide/facetime/fctm725416ba/mac) and [iOS SharePlay](https://support.apple.com/en-kg/guide/iphone/iphb657eb791/ios). Just checking if maybe I misunderstood your setup?
I think SharePlay is limited; I can’t screen share from FaceTime on my iPhone. Plus, I’ve heard it doesn’t work on the computer version either.
I'm actually using Windows, so that option doesn't show up for me.
