Mac OS

To give the required AnyDesk permissions on a Mac, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Privacy, then navigate to the relevant sections like "Accessibility," "Screen Recording," and "Full Disk Access" and add AnyDesk to the list of allowed applications by checking the box next to it; you may need to unlock the settings with your administrator password to make changes
Key steps:
  • Open System Settings (previously called System Preferences).
  • Click on Privacy & Security.
  • Select the Privacy tab.
  • In the left sidebar, choose the required permission category (like "Accessibility", "Screen Recording", or "Full Disk Access").
  • Find AnyDesk in the list and check the box next to it.
  • If AnyDesk isn't listed, click the "+" button to add it.
Important points to remember:
  • Unlocking settings:
    You might need to click the padlock icon at the bottom left and enter your administrator password to make changes. 
  • Full Disk Access:
    While not always necessary, granting "Full Disk Access" allows for file transfer features within AnyDesk. 
  • Check for updates:
    Ensure you have the latest version of AnyDesk installed for the most up-to-date compatibility and security features.
