Click on the Privacy tab at the top.

 

Scroll down on the left side until you see Screen Recording.

 

Make sure there is a checkmark next to ConnectWise Control Client (Atlona logo).

Step 3  - Restart

 

 

 

Once Connectwise has a checkmark next to it, you should be up and working.

 

Sometimes the app will need to be restarted to work. If this happens, you will be prompted by a notification similar to the picture on the right. Select Quit Now, then restarting the App should get it connected and showing for the Connectwise host
