Windows

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Screen (or Screen Sharing) and ensure permissions are enabled.

  2. Check your antivirus/firewall isn’t blocking Sherlock.

  3. When prompted, share your entire screen (not just a window or tab).

Tip: Restart your computer if the app freezes during setup.

macOS

  • Security & Privacy: Navigate to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording. Make sure your browser is checked to allow screen sharing.

  • Accessibility Settings: Some apps may require access under 'Accessibility' in the Security & Privacy settings.

Linux (Not Supported)

  • Sherlock does not support Linux.

  • Please use a Windows or macOS device to take your assessment.

  • If that’s not possible, contact the hiring company or support for an alternative attempt. (If applicable)
