remote access for help with a 3d/VFX job

[bill99]

Hello forum

would like to give a remote Mac-user(trusted person/friend) access to my iMac, in order to have this person fixed a problem with a 3d/VFX job.


- in addition it should be possible to talk/phone(built in mic of the Mac) over the same internet-line (fiber) as well
- Webcam not needed/desired
- this remote support application should ask me for permission before the support-person is granted access to the Mac GUI


What applications do support such a scenario?


Thank's a lot for your help!

Bill

Any of the conferencing apps like Zoom can do this just fine, as can iMessage.
