And if a new session is required, the same steps apply. Chromebook viewĮither user can terminate remote control access at any time. That will generate a request to the Chromebook once the access request is accepted on the Chromebook, you’ll have remote control access to it. Once the code is entered on the computer, click the Connect button. The Chromebook user should provide that code to the PC user, who then enters the code on the computer: PC view The code generated on the Chromebook is the key to the kingdom here. And the Chromebook user wants to click the “Share this screen” option, which generates a one-time access code on their Chromebook, as shown in the below image. That’s what you want on your non-Chromebook. See the “Connect to another computer” section? Note that the remote Chromebook should also take this step. Instead, choose Remote Support to see this screen. You’re greeted with two menu options and you’d think you want Remote Access. The person with a Chromebook wants to replicate your steps here and view the same URL. Just head to using the Chrome browser from a computer and you’ll see a web version of the extension. Technically, I believe the extension is a Progressive Web App using this URL. But so too is a special URL if you don’t have or want to install the extension. But a common question I get, mainly for troubleshooting reasons is: How can I remotely control a Chromebook from another computer?Ĭhrome Remote Desktop is still part of the equation here. You just install the Chrome Remote Desktop extension, follow the directions and you’re off. Just install the two pieces, log in, and away you go.Chromebooks have long supported remote desktop access to other computers. Chrome Remote Desktop is a genuinely superb piece of free software that's incredibly user friendly and accessible to all without needing any amount of technical know-how. There really is no reason in my mind that I'd ever want to bother with Microsoft's built-in tools again, especially as long as it's behind Windows 10 Pro. You get a warning the first time you set the extension up that you should really install Chrome, but you just ignore that and go about your merry way. Presumably the same applies to other Chromium-based browsers such as Opera and Brave, too.įor the most stream crossing I could manage in one go I tried it out in Microsoft Edge for Linux running on Chrome OS and the experience was identical to running inside Google Chrome. Now that the new Edge is based on Chromium you can simply go to the Chrome Web Store and install the extension to Edge instead. Built-in IT support modeĭon't like the idea of using Google Chrome? That's fine, use Microsoft Edge instead. That's not really an early 2021 friendly feature, but when the world returns to normal and working from coffee shops again is allowed, it's a really compelling feature to have on my LTE Surface Go 2. The icing on the cake is that you can access your remote machines without being on the same network, too. I wouldn't fancy gaming this way, there are certainly better options for that, but I've been able to work for hours from my Surface Go 2 in the kitchen as if I were sat in front of my desktop rig in the office. Scrolling is fast and smooth and there's no real sign of latency. ![]() Keyboard shortcuts can work just fine, you can upload and download files with ease and performance is excellent. It's also really simple to interact with the other machine as if it were just the one in front of you. ![]() This is particularly useful if you have a high-resolution display attached at the other end and can make everything easier to look at on a smaller display.Ĭhrome Remote Desktop is ridiculously easy to use. To make it easy to live with on different machines, you have control over not only whether you operate full screen or not, but you're also able to adjust the remote PCs screen resolution to match what's available in the window you're working with. But for my needs, this covers every base I could possibly want. ![]() Especially considering the extension, at least, hasn't been updated in quite a while. I tried Chrome Remote Desktop many years ago and forgot about it, but coming back with actual purpose I'm surprised at how feature-packed it is.
