====== 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
