Lots of people use TeamViewer, which might or might not be free and is definitely a bit odd. (Would you believe it’s now $250/year?) Now I recommend Splashtop, which is inexpensive and feature-rich. At one time we all used LogMeIn because it was free. There are lots of remote control programs. Once the session has ended, you can’t reconnect unless they get another code for you. When you type that code number into the app on your computer, you’ll be connected to their computer for a one-time session.

Someone else can install Chrome Remote Desktop on their own computer and click “Share,” then read you a code number. It’s like any other remote control program: the screen appears exactly as if you were sitting in front of the computer, with full keyboard and mouse control. You’ll be able to start a remote session with a single tap on the Connect button. Then install the app on another device – computer or phone. (It installs a Windows service behind the scenes.) Once it’s set up, it runs continuously you don’t have to leave Chrome open to use it. Add it to your computer from the Chrome Web Store. With Chrome Remote Desktop, you can control a Windows or Mac computer remotely from almost any other device: another Windows or Mac computer, a Chromebook, an iPhone or iPad, or an Android phone or tablet.Ĭhrome Remote Desktop is a free app from Google. Sometimes it seems like Google is having all the fun with new technology.

I stumbled on a pretty amazing Chrome app that I’ve been overlooking for five years. I kind of vaguely knew that it could do other cool tricks.
