You can use iMessage to share your screen with your friends. Since you can also facetime while using it, this is a kind of screen transfer via FaceTime with a detour via iMessage.

That's how it's done:

1. Go to chat the contact on your Mac with whom you want to share your screen.
2. Click on "Details".
3. Select the character with the two blue rectangles (see second picture).
4. Now choose whether you want to "ask for screen sharing" or say "invitation to access my screen", the screen sharing is done.

2. Alternative

You can share your screen not only with iMessage during a video call, but also via Skype. For this way you have to do without FaceTime and use Skype instead.
