====== Chrome Remote Desktop ====== Chrome Remote Desktop is not strictly for ChromeOS. At the Daily Data offices, we use it to connect to various machines, from/to Unix to Microsoft Windows to MacOS. But, it is also very handy for connecting too/from a ChromeOS based machine. This is strongly based on the Chrome web browser (Chromium works as well), and the simplest solution is to open up Google Chrome to https://remotedesktop.google.com/support from any machine. ===== On Chromebook ===== - Install the Chrome Remote Desktop one of these ways - From Google AppStore or through this link: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chromeremotedesktop - Open Chrome web browser to remotedesktop.google.com/support - Under //Get Support// choose download - Open Chrome Remote Desktop - Under Select Share My Screen - Generate Code - Send the generated code to whoever needs access - When the user tries to access, select //share// from the small popup - Closing the app will terminate the remote session ===== On remote machine who wants control ===== - Open Chrome Remote Desktop - Select //Access my computer// - Enter your Google credentials - Select //Remote Support// - Under //Connect to another computer// enter the code the client gave you - Press the Connect button - Wait for other user to accept the connection ===== Links ===== * https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1649523
