In all of those cases the user is "sharing" their personal "screen" with 
the app, sharing what they're looking at and doing with a trusted party 
or agent.

The app may not be seeing the user, but is sharing in what the user is 
seeing and doing (within the confines of their screen).

To me, that is not conveyed well by "system", since the user is still 
effectively observed.
