Platform-specific issues

Solutions for issues on specific interview and coding platforms.

Platform-specific issues

Others can see the software after screen sharing

This is usually caused by a system version that is too low or by not completing setup according to the docs. First confirm the system version and platform settings, then complete configuration by following the Stealth Mode page.

macOS: clicking wallpaper to show desktop hides the software

Open "Desktop & Dock" and change "Click wallpaper to show desktop" to "Only in Stage Manager."

Desktop and Dock settings

macOS: menu bar prompt cannot be closed

This is a macOS system security mechanism. It cannot be closed and can be ignored.

  • Tencent Meeting: choose "prioritize fluency" when sharing the screen.
  • Zoom: enable "Advanced capture with window filtering."

Detailed settings: Stealth mode.
