Screen Sharing icon on login screen I noticed the Screen Sharing icon when logging in despite it being disabled on my computer. After logging in, it didn't appear in the menu bar.



What could be causing it? I tried enabling and disabling it via the command line but it persists.

# Enable Screen Sharing
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.screensharing.plist

# Disable Screen Sharing
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.screensharing.plist


I tried looking for solutions but only found confirmation that this is indeed the Screen Sharing icon.

What are the &quot;Overlapping Squares&quot; icon in status menu on login screen?
Found the culprit, nothing malicious. It's caused by an app called RetroClip. It enables "Instant Replay" type recording.
