Safest Way To Give Remote Control Access To My MacBook For Tech Support?
Post Body

I'm looking to hire a web developer to make changes to my Shopify store. Instead of just giving them access to the store, and not being able to see/record all their changes, I plan to give them remote access to my MacBook with Zoom so they can control my mouse and keyword to make the customizations.

Are there any risks of them adding malware to my computer with remote access? Assuming I watch them work the whole time, I feel like there isn't. However, with remote control access, they could quickly open terminal and run anything.

Also, any suggestions other than Zoom? I looked at AnyDesk, but it wasn't clear if they had a feature to give remote control to specific programs - for example, they can control my mouse and keyboard, but only work on Chrome.
