What is Reddit's opinion of
Chrome Remote Desktop?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
I'm a web designer using a Chromebook nearly full time. I visit this page, https://remotedesktop.google.com/access to access a headless Windows computer (serves as my PLEX home media server) I have on a local network for the days I need to use Photoshop or a couple of other Windows-specific tools.
Is it possible to do this? Yes. However, if you actually need to use Photoshop "for real" and not just to quickly edit or reference a PSD, you're going to have a difficult time.
I use Photopea (https://www.photopea.com/) on my Chromebook for basic photo resizing, editing, and PSD access most days.
If you are traveling often, a web server with Windows might work. However, if you're at a local network, or don't mind leaving a machine on at a home, remote desktopping to your own device will be more affordable in the long run, especially if you already own a Windows machine.
for those of you who take care of someone elderly, get them set up with chrome remote! it's free, and as long as their computer is on you can remote into it and fix any issues.
I was itching for this update just to mess with WebRTC, naturally I woke up to an update notification and they had already pulled it. Chrome's remote desktop should work since they added a browser client remotedesktop.google.com/access.
It's called Chrome Remote Desktop
Your grandmother will have to initiate the support session. You cannot set up unattended remote access of a Chromebook, like you can do with a Windows or Mac, but otherwise, it works well.
See this help page
https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1649523?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
Look at the section, "Share your computer with someone else"
You can save a bookmark to remotedesktop.google.com/support to help her remember how to connect.
The best way to do this is with Google's Remote Desktop implementation https://remotedesktop.google.com/ . The client works purely in Chrome, supports touch, and will generally be less resource intensive then Android solutions like Steam or Moonlight. There is a Moonlight for Chrome, but it it's unusable on ChromeOS in my experience.
If you trust google you can try google remote desktop. <strong>https://remotedesktop.google.com</strong>
Using it as alternative to expensive (corporate) teamviewer for few years for some clients who prefer it and it works fine.
Google Admin Console is essential. GAM is nice but not necessary for 20 devices.
If you have to you can use https://remotedesktop.google.com/support for remote connections or support but this is not as frequently necessary as with administering Windows devices.
Bark for Schools is a free extension that allows web filtering. Others are paid products. From personal experience GoGuardian is a good option.
Just to be clear, these apps are going away from anything that's not a Chromebook.
Remote Desktop is now in beta:
https://remotedesktop.google.com/
Wonder if there'll be one for Chromebook recovery. I don't use the recovery USBs much, just reimage from the recovery screen. But suppose it wouldn't be too hard to pull a Chromebook when I need to make one.
There are a couple things you can do to limit CRD, though not completely.
First, you can try blocking remotedesktop.google.com/access while whitelisting remotedesktop.google.com/support. This will allow for remote support sessions (with a live person on both ends) while preventing remote connections to an unmanned computer.
This user policy can be configured per OU. Yes, students can still initiate remote connections to each other's devices, but I don't see that causing much trouble. The main thing for us is preventing students from remotely connecting to unmanaged computers at home.
The other thing you can try is in the Admin console under User & Browser Settings, look for the "Remote access clients" setting. Entering your school domain here will limit these remote access support sessions to only accounts from that particular domain (you can add multiple domains, one per line). This works well for us because we have a separate domain name for staff vs students, so I put our staff domain here, which allows me and the other IT team to remotely support students, but it prevents them from opening remote support sessions with each other.
For occasional use, TeamViewer is free and very reliable across platforms. Also, Chrome Remote desktop plugin for the Chrome browser is pretty painless, albeit less featured. Nice thing about both solutions is that you won't have to deal with firewall/router issues.
The new Chrome Remote Desktop:
https://remotedesktop.google.com/access
works with my dual monitor setup. It allows me to turn off (and back on) displaying remotely one of the two monitors. The two monitor display is quite hard to read small lettering from if I remember - which is why I went with turning off the second monitor showing.
I would guess this was not an option you found you liked?
I had this same exact complaint, and came to this subreddit to vent. But as I was reading your post I realized a solution that makes all those shortcuts work again!
and the solution is.... Nativefier it's a NPM package that bundles any web page into an Electron desktop app. Electron is based on chromium so everything renders properly, but since it's designed to be a stand-alone application it doesn't intercept any of the standard chrome shortcuts.
Here's a link to a .zip of the chrome web app that has been "nativefied" https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pz_eRdOEp5jSUuzvMSDdrPzS9yPQ56xR simply unzip the folder, then run "Chrome Remote Desktop.exe"
if you want to package it up yourself, simply open a command prompt, install NPM, install nativefier through NPM, change the directory to where you want to create the nativefied app, then run:
> nativefier "https://remotedesktop.google.com/access/"
et voila!
Suggest you use the browser based version. For me it's quite stable and has corrected a multi-monitor issue I had on my target device.
https://remotedesktop.google.com/access
+1
Or you can install Chrome but not as default browser if your parents prefer another one
And it's also amazing that you can connect to it anytime from web-version (https://remotedesktop.google.com/access) with no need to install any additional apps
So are you saying that you did look at https://remotedesktop.google.com/support as an option? There is a remote support tab that would allow her to send a support request, you wouldn't need the IP address and port in that case.
The other option might be for him to create a playlist under his own account and then share it with his mother OR make the playlist public and then share the public link with his mother.
Edit: Best wishes for a quick recovery
I'm doing this currently. chromebook --> linux workstation. Using https://remotedesktop.google.com to do it. It's actually very usable, better than just about any other solution i have tried.
Only major downside, it doesnt support multiple monitors well.
It's certainly possible as I use that at work but am not 100% how it works.
Looking around the easiest looking solution is Chrome Remote Desktop. Might have luck searching for "<distro> vnc".
It's not the same but I've used in the past is to just forward x11 sessions with ssh. It's as simple as ssh -X assuming the other end has X11 (wayland might work too?). This stackoverflow page is good and this youtube video looks fine.
In either case you'll want to consider the security implications. You may need to setup DNS as well.
Commonly it isn't possible, or is limited to viewing periodic screenshots with no ability to control (no typing responses or touch/mouse movement/clicks/taps) -- that's a general Android thing else I'd expect Chrome Remote Desktop to be the first that'd work. OTOH there are AirMirror and RemoDroid, which I've seen discussed but never used. ISTR that some manufacturers provide such a tool, but they wanted both devices to be their own, i.e., both are X devices, not one X and the other a Y. Some remote desktop apps can provide views which are live (don't expect games to work well) and can even control if the manufacturer provides a way that others are allowed to use, unfortunately it isn't usually a free option, e.g., Splashtop SOS is $17/mo and TeamViewer RA is $25/mo.
I stopped looking at my mining for just 1 day and just that day the internet went down and strangely my asics didn't return. But anyway, you have to leave a computer on (and not hibernate) with asics. I make my remote access very easy, using Google Remote, via the website, it's very good. site google remote
Nope, still works, just tested between my Windows machine and this Mac. Might be on the heavy side, since it's rendering in Chrome, but it works and it's very easy to set up. remotedesktop.google.com
It's not open source but have you tried the Google remote desktop? It's built right into Chrome:
https://remotedesktop.google.com
It's my goto remote app for fixing aged relative's remote windows machines.
He is saying you can access it using remote desktop and store the computer somewhere else so you only need one set up. https://remotedesktop.google.com/ makes it really easy
Do you have a way to remote in to your PC? You just have to log in, you don't have to play.
https://remotedesktop.google.com is what I advise to non-technical family.
I think the best and easiest way to accomplish all of the above would be to use a remote desktop client. Theres lots of paid ones, but Chrome Remote Desktop is free and easy enough to use. You might be better off with a paid version, I don't think its very easy to transfer files with chrome. If you want to go free, I think you can open your PC to the network, and add a file on your hard drive that gets shared to the network with file explorer. Though I can't speak to how successful this is
Google's solution is called "chrome remote desktop" - it requires google chrome to be installed, and the remote desktop extension needs to be added. After that its pretty seamless.
For me simplest way is to just use other remote desktop software, I usually use Chrome Remote Desktop. Setup the host computer (https://remotedesktop.google.com), then download the client on your iPad. Easy.
If you require RDP, I would use ZeroTier (zerotier.com) service, it basically creates a "virtual LAN" over the internet using VPN. Connect your devices (host+client) using the VPN profile it provides then use RDP normally. I understand the best way is to host your own VPN, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do that. ZeroTier works with minimal setup.
Do you have Chrome installed? You can use it for remote access. It requires a download on Macs but it doesn't seem to need anything installed on Windows. https://remotedesktop.google.com/access
Thanks for the tip about blocking https://remotedesktop.google.com/access, that seems to work great for preventing remote access to unmanaged computers.
As for the domain restriction, I found that setting under the Chrome User settings. The setting is called Remote access clients
Before setting my school domain in that setting, I tested doing a chromebook remote support session from my personal Gmail account, and it worked. After I set my domain in that setting, I tried connecting from my personal gmail account again and it failed. It works when connecting from a domain account.
This won't stop students from doing remote support sessions with each other, but I'm not too concerned about that at this point, time will tell if I get complaints.
No, I used Chrome Remote Desktop to remote control a Pixelbook from an Acer Chromebook 714 and the other way around. And I remote controlled a MacBook with macOS and Windows 10 from the 714. All combinations worked fine.
On Chrome OS you can use Chrome to either ask for remote support with a code displayed there or to offer support and to logon to the other device with the Code.
It's fine, don't worry it's just imaginary internet points. But what is weird is I'm not sure why saying what I said would upset people https://remotedesktop.google.com/?pli=1 works super well if anyone is looking to do something similar
We're in a similar position, but using https://remotedesktop.google.com/
To go from pixelbook across to Windows device. Works well and without fuss.
We also had a Windows 8 era lenovo laptop of ok-ish spec for the time, doing nothing. Put the free version of neverware's chromium on it (very easy to do even for me..) and although there's no Play Store etc it's a perfectly usable machine
that one I don't know. I know it used to be a plugin you download for chrome, but they're recently upgraded it to native support: https://remotedesktop.google.com/access/
(I think a download is still required to setup a computer as a host, and an app is still required on mobile device clients)
You CAN use web Chrome Remote Desktop to control your Chromebook. However, both sender and receiver need to use web CRD , and the 'supporter' has to be given a connection code to connect to the 'supportee' to initiate the remote connection. Therefore, currently there is no 'unattended' way to connect to your Chromebook. But I guess this method is better than nothing :-)
https://remotedesktop.google.com/support 'Remote Support' tab 'Get Support'
Download CRD and then generate the code that you give to your 'supporter'.
Makes sense? :-)
I think you can do this easily with the web app: https://remotedesktop.google.com
I was able to remote control my own computer by opening two different tabs in Chrome. Then I opened _another_ pair of tabs and remote desktoped into my local computer a second time. So I was sharing my screen twice and also accessing two other screens!
All I did was go to remotedesktop.google.com on the chromebook, then the same site on the Windows machine, chrome (on windows) installed the extension and gave a code, went back to chromebook entered code to connect & off it went. I may of missed some steps as this was a month ago but it does work. Fairly certain a stub needs to install on the Windows box but is just an extension on the chromebook.
Not keepass specific, but you can run Chrome Remote Desktop on your home PC, then go to remotedesktop.google.com on the work PC (including through Edge and Firefox). Run Keepass there?
You could consider https://remotedesktop.google.com/ to link up to your home PC? It's browser based so no worries there.
Your security people can see everything you do, your screen could even be shared or mirrored. Don't do anything you wouldn't be able to explain within reason.
When I click the download button, it downloads and offers to install the extension here: https://remotedesktop.google.com/access. Not a standalone application, a chrome extension that installs to chrome. It might work differently for you, but that's what happens on my end.
Install it on both your computer and phone, sign in to both with your Google account, set a pin for your computer and now your phone is your computer screen. You can use touch mode or touchpad mode to navigate and click, your computer will respond just like you’re sitting in front of it.
If you already have Wake on Lan working, just use any remote desktop software.. Things like TeamViewer you can create a free account for, register your devices, and have it set to run on system start. Then on your laptop you just open TeamViewer and connect to your device on the other end. Even Chrome Remote Desktop will work if you set Chrome as a startup program. Then from any computer/laptop, smart phone, or tablet you go to this website https://remotedesktop.google.com/ login to your Google account, and will see all your devices with Chrome Remote Desktop running, click them to access/control.
Just a quick Google search shall do but just in case here ya go https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://remotedesktop.google.com/&ved=2ahUKEwj5usP5pL_1AhUsZN8KHaMIAcQQFnoECAYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0Z-4aSTZDlUYptdcHJJe70
While I'm aware of some wireless HDMI/Display options out there like Miracast, etc. understand that it will introduce latency into the mix. With that in mind, another option would be remote computing options.
That is to say, you can use your phone, tablet, or laptop to connect to your PC. If we're talking remote browsing, messaging, etc, then something like Chrome Remote Desktop is a free option that works reasonably well. I'm not sure what requirements your pet projects would involve, but this might be a viable option since it seems that your mobile devices might not have the horsepower, or framework to do what you need to for the pet projects.
For something like gaming, Steam has Remote Play, which, depending on the horsepower of your PC, is fairly good as long as you got a decent wireless connection. There's cloud gaming options as well, and if you're on a budget, something like GeForce Now has a free tier, though it is a bit restricted, but links to your existing Steam, Epic and other collections, so there's no extra money involved.
Hope this helps!
Now tried to set up https://remotedesktop.google.com inside my guest OS:
if I connect from host to headless vbox guest (both win 10, chrome) - everything is great: - fast video, good sound - smooth webpage render, no typing delays
if I connect from not-a-host-pc-in-same-network to same headless vbox guest (both win 10, chrome) - things go worse: + still smooth webpage render, no typing delays (GREAT!) - slow video, bad sound (eg man's voice becomes bear's roar and can't be understood at all)
There are tons of ways to remote into your desktop when away
Team viewer is a big one, but even Google's chrome desktop works easy peasy where you just simply leave a chrome tab open
Visual studio live share might be your best bet. It doesn't send a video- it allows you or the remote person to interact or directly read the other user's code. As a result, your screen reader should operate normally.
Another option could be Chrome Remote Desktop, which allows other users to remotely interact with your screen and vice versa, which might work (although I haven't tested it). The remote user may need to turn on a screen reader, it's not clear if accessibility APIs work through remote connections.
- Jump Desktop - great and fast connection protocol called Fluid, really the best one I've used. Windows clients are lacking some features, more focused on the Mac client (which I prefer and is rare).
- Beyond Trust Remote - Formerly Bomgar has a great feature set that allows you to connect to nearly anything (Jump - their own protocol, RDP, VNC, SSH) and is extremely flexible. You can also setup a portal where users can visit to connect to your support teams by inputting a session code and get connected that way.
- Google Chrome Remote Access - heard people have success with this one, haven't used it myself.
Lots of people use TeamViewer, and I have in the past, but they've had a shaky security record in the past so YMMV. There are many more than this but these might get you started.
You can use chrome remote desktop and share your screen with the windows PC.
https://remotedesktop.google.com/?pli=1
There is also a paid app called Duet Display (some Chromebooks also have it as a free trial). But that is if you want to use your Chromebook as a second display so maybe not.
Sorry if my message was confusig - was typing from phone before bed.
What I meant is - why don't you just set it up so your OS account on your guest pc has a password for login - it will not let anyone use your parsec from it while not logged in. Then, additional layer of security would be to add some other app for remote control that boots before windows login. I recall I had success with my 3-d computer and google chrome's remote desktop app. Have a separate account on your host than the one you have on your guest, but have them friend each other so one sees other when you log in on host.
So have password lock on your guest not to let someone use your account, use a remote desktop app to unlock it when needed. On unlocked host have a second parsec account. It will prompt a connection dialogue on host when you'll be connecting - you'll need to click on it. When need to confirm connection by a friend - use remote desktop to approve connectionon host.
So have a password lock on your host, use a remote desktop to unlock it. On unlocked host have a second parsec account. It will prompt a connection dialogue on the host when you'll be connecting. When need to confirm the connection by a friend - use a remote desktop to approve the connection. prove the connection. co app. Have a separate account on your host than the one you have on your guest, but have them friend each other so one sees the other when you log in on host.
I hope that all makes some sense...
>nd the man is payed 130k, same as all the staff, which seems pretty good, even in the bay area. And has budget for a ton of fancy mearaki and Cisco gear.My point being that i don't take my opinions or actions lightly, and i try to make sure that everything i do or feel is justified and has its roots in objective fact and logic. But that's all subject to mushy opinion so idk.
OK dude, so you understand!
So, my best advise.. and working in Network Security, I'm the first one to get pissed off when I see something that really has no need to be blocked:
- It affect my access as well - Just because we manage the Firewalls, doesn't exclude us
- I have to deal with hundreds of complaints each year regarding this.
Don't go setting up a proxy .. Its easily detectable and it's a premeditated act, proving that your knowingly circumventing controls. My approach would be:
a) Install Chrome Remote Desktop on a Windows VM, then use https://remotedesktop.google.com/ to access it from a browser!
b) Get a MIFI router, these can be had for £30+/$50+ off eBay, then buy a pay-as-you go SIM card, and just load it with data.
c) If you have need for some specific data, use something like Resilio Sync of SyncThing .. I use it for everything.
Personally I would go with B, whilst it has a small cost, you know nothing will be blocked, and you won't get in trouble.
Chrome RDP is an interesting one, most Google services will be allowed, and since your not actually accessing blocked content on the network, but doing so from your home, it creates a gray area! .. But If you get caught, don't be surprised if that gets blocked!
Check out Chrome remote desktop as another option: https://remotedesktop.google.com/?pli=1
I have had some success with this in the past. It takes a bit of messing around to get it to work how you want, but could be a useful option.
I'm not sure I completely understand your setup, but it sound like you have a computer setup and workflow that works for you currently. One option you might consider is remotely connecting and controlling your existing setup from overseas. e.g. remotedesktop.google.com . This does mean that the computer will have to be connected to the internet, but you can have your family turn on and off the network connection. Setup a web cam so you can also see what's going on with the machines so you can instruct.
​
However, the whole plan seems likely to run into trouble. Is there no one in your family willing to learn?
ok to add RDP to windows 10 home you can try this method:
I have not tried this before so I can't vouch for it, but it looks fine.
You could instead try this:
Or this:
It's been over 5 years since I last used splashtop, but I used it back then and it worked well.
I switched my dad from Windows to a Chromebook 2 years ago. I's been an absolute blessing. He only checks his email (outlook.live), bloomberg, and a few other sites with regularity. I can easily remotedesktop.google.com into his laptop to help him when he gets stuck. I put shortcuts for googles docs and good sheets on his taskbar, when he needs those type of applications. I also put app shortcuts for skype and zoom on his taskbar.
Previously, when he had a Widows laptop, I would basically have to re-format/re-install everything every 6 months as either a window's update did not install properly or my dad had clicked on a scam link and unintentionally installed something bad (secret stock tips - click here!)
If your mom doesn't require any unique software (win/mac) I would highly recommend a chromebook!!!
I use Samsung's TV remote to control the PC while watching. It has an option to configure it to work with any infrared device, and with Flirc you can use it on a PC.
Google Chrome Remote Desktop is an app by google that lets you connect and control your PC from another PC or from your android phone, I use it when I need to install stuff, manage files etc. because I don't want to take the laptop out of its place for that.
You leave your computer on and you can control it through your phone through the internet. I've used it to log into WoT before. Of course you can't play, but if you're just doing the black market it'll work.
What is on the server? is it windows or Linux? my experience setting up an openvpn server was relatively easy, some router's actually have built in vpn functionality, this will really depend on your comfort level.
I have used (years ago now) log me in it was fairly painless back in the day.
Team viewer is alright.
Google even has a remote desktop chrome extension (you do have to have chrome installed etc) I havent used this one is a long time as well but i do remember once I got it set up it was fairly simple and If i remember right it got around needing vpn https://remotedesktop.google.com/?pli=1).
I would say it really depends on what you are comfortable with/how fast and easy you are looking to get set up.
If you like Google, there is a free solution remotedesktop.google.com.
Otherwise, you need your public IP via whatsmyip.com of the remote network you want to reach. You should static the remote PC's local (192.x) IP and go in the router and forward the ports from the Internet to the local IP. Public IPs change too, so you might want to set up a DNS forwarder service, there might be a place in the router for that service.
That is why most suggest a 3rd party program to do all this.
check out remotedesktop.google.com as well.
https://cloud.google.com/solutions/chrome-desktop-remote-windows-compute-engine
steps are for GCP, but installation are the same. opening up RDP ports are generally recommended against, and using Google credentials will be a more secure method
In case you're still looking for a solution to this issue, try Chrome Remote Desktop from Google: https://remotedesktop.google.com/
I've been through this process of trying different remote desktop clients and forwarding ports, etc. It sucks and I found Google's solution to be far more eloquent.
I could imagine this would work:
https://remotedesktop.google.com/
I was kinda able to even play Don't Starve using this. Haven't tried it with DD tho, might have some unexpected issues (I had some in old Fallouts).
PS :
I can get "remote support" from my ChromeTab from https://remotedesktop.google.com/support by generating a code but it will be only for a one time access ...
You need a remote access software such as Chrome Remote Desktop https://remotedesktop.google.com. It’s free and easy to use.
I don’t know what you mean by using iPhone on windows. But have installed iTunes? It’s used to backup you iphone to windows. There are similar software fir Android too depending on your phone brand.
Step 1) Install Chrome Remote Desktop or Team Viewer on your PC.
Step 2) Have your PC on but monitors off.
Step 3) login via an appropriate mobile app.
Step 4) Don't renegotiate your energy bill because a PC that uses sleep mode only uses $12 of power per year whilst idle.
Yes... the way I do it is to remote into my PC using Chrome remote desktop, then I start my XSX using the "Xbox Console Companion" Win 10 app (notice that this will only turn on your X|S but you cannot stream from that app w/the Series X|S)... then I use the "XBOX Game Streaming Test app" {Link to get here} to stream to my Win 10 PC I remoted into.
Rather than streaming, you could use Google Remote Desktop to connect your home computer from your tablet. You would then just need to pop open a preview window for the computer's webcam using whatever software you want.
Chrome remote desktop, which yes she will need to install Chrome and the extension but its a one time thing. You'll have access after that. If you are remote accessing a Mac you can turn on its internal desktop sharing, but you'll need to work out how to connect to it remotely. I have no Windows machines at home so I go through this with my mom a lot! In the end I put OpenVPN on her wireless router which gives me access to her entire network. Solved nearly every issue.
I haven't been able to find anything. I must have been imagining things.
I haven't tried this yet, but I'm going to see if blocking remotedesktop.google.com/access while whitelisting remotedesktop.google.com/support will allow for remote support sessions (with a live person on both ends) while preventing remote connections to an unmanned computer.
This user policy can be configured per OU. Yes, students can then initiate remote connections to each other's devices, but I don't see that causing much trouble. The main thing for us is preventing students from remotely connecting to unmanaged computers at home.
I don't mind if students are giving each other support. What we do try to limit is students being able to connect remotely back to a personal computer at home. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm going to see if blocking remotedesktop.google.com/access while whitelisting remotedesktop.google.com/support will allow for remote support sessions (with a live person on both ends) while preventing remote connections to an unmanned computer.
Messed around with OC'ing it while sitting in meetings today, best run so far:

Sure, houses are cool and all, but I prefer games within my games.
I'm on 1.12.2 with the WebDisplays mod, set to Chrome Remote Desktop, controlling my laptop which is running the game. To repeat: I haven't remade the Henry Stickmin Collection in Minecraft - I've just found a way to make it playable.
This method should work for quite a few games. You can also use keyboard input, but you can't use mouse movement, right clicks or the escape button.
1) MeshCentral
3) DWService
4) Windows 10 has an inbuilt remote tool that can do what you're after called QuickAssist
Each have advantages/disadvantages
You can, but it's better to use CrossOver or Chrome Remote Desktop.
Or, like u/IhaveGin said, get a Surface. You'll have to pay at least $140 for a Windows license for a Chromebook, so it's a wash.
Google Remote Desktop no te sirve? yo lo uso y no tengo problema. Y no importa si estas en la misma u ora red. En el fono te bajas una app y desde el pc desde cualquier navegador: https://remotedesktop.google.com/access/
If you don't worry too much about electricity usage you can leave your pc running and remote into your PC from your phone and do it that way.
Really easy with android, https://remotedesktop.google.com/?pli=1
I assume its possible even with an iphone but I don't know specifically how.
I kinda dabbled with Chrome Remote Desktop. But this also gives students the ability to run remote desktops from their Chromebooks, which I decidedly do not want them to do.
It also needs access codes and such, which in my experience just frustrate the workflow.
What did you install?
You should be using https://remotedesktop.google.com/
Which computer crashes?
Try a browser reset
Reset all flags to default, if you have changed any.
We already do lots of remote classroom support. VNC on all PCs for years. Chrome Remote Desktop https://remotedesktop.google.com/ for all the chromebooks.
The door into tech steps into a "booth", which is all clear plastic shower curtains. There is a PC and chromebook on the shelf that has mirrored monitors facing us. This way we can help staff and students more safely.
For classroom physical stuff, we are only doing them after school. We carry our own wireless keyboard/track pad to use a classroom pc.
Have a few gallons of 70% alch that we will spray and wipe everything down.
Have you by chance tried using Chrome Remote Desktop? As long as you have the software installed on the three devices, have them powered on, and link them to your account, you can access them on any device through your web browser.
He try using remote methods. Google chrome has a remote feature that work very well when! He can use basically any laptop and play in his browser.
You can check out here: https://remotedesktop.google.com
do they have a computer? you could set up https://remotedesktop.google.com/mobile/
that way you could log into their local computer and go to netflix.com and cast from there.
or you could have them put you on speaker phone and talk to their Google assistant.
Chrome Remote Desktop works fine - simply go to
https://remotedesktop.google.com/
Important note - you can NOT set up a way for you to connect to your mom's Chromebook without her being involved. Unattended remote connections are prohibited.
You and your mom will go to that website. You have to use the "Remote Support" option. Your mom will click on "Get support". There will be an option to install a small package. Then she will be shown an access code that she will tell you (on the phone or text),
You will type that code into the "Give Support" box. Your mom will accept the request, and you will be connected.
Every 10 minutes or so, she will have to click on a button on the screen to continue the connection.
I'd suggest using Chrome Remote Desktop.
Use Team Viewer Once, in order to log-in to Chrome with your account, then, whenever the PC is on, you'll be able to connect through the site or the app, without further verification, and have full control over the PC.
Chrome Remote Desktop (I believe you are talking about) is found at :
https://remotedesktop.google.com/access
Access the site on your gaming (Win10 PC?) at home to download the app and register the PC and then download the Chrome Remote app on your tablet to access your registered PC. (The app on MY Samsung tablet is very basic (unlike on my Chromebook) and works better with the tablet in horizontal display. Not a facility I would like doing a lot of work from.)
> Stadia is not a PC platform. I’m not sure why you think it is? Because it’s running on a custom Linux kernel? Then the ps4 is nothing more than a pc as well. The Xbox is a stripped down windows. Excuse me but I’m really not sure what the argument is here.
Because architechture of Stadia is quite literally a x64 PC that's being streamed to you through Chrome, not unlike Chrome's own RDP (through which I even managed to play Bejeweled Twist once).
And because of that, Stadia's insistence on being a separate "platform" with entirely separate library rather than game streaming service that people could assume that it is an issue. Basically "why bother"
> Stadia has been a target of misinformation and biased hate based on false facts since release.
Ok, just to be clear, define "misinformation" and "biased hate". One's man truth is another's biased misinformed hate, after all
People don't even need to download anything once they get to that remotedesktop.google.com/support page. Just generate the code and give it to the person providing the assistance.
As you said, it is a fantastic (and easy) way to provide support.
Suppose you could try this

Chrome Remote Desktop is what I use often but even that can be a little frustrating depending on the network the remote computer is on.
Are you accessing C R D from https://remotedesktop.google.com/access/?
It has a number of controls that break out via an arrow on the left when you are remoting in, including a capability to take a screen print and upload and download files.
Well, my first thought would be using the chrome remote access tool https://remotedesktop.google.com
I have been using it for work to gain quick access to my desktop remotely
I got it. I believe it is an issue with VNC server installation or configuration. As I already suggested, try using some 3rd party software previously mentioned in the thread. A quick option, by the way, would be using Chrome Remote Desktop https://remotedesktop.google.com/. This one should work the way you expect.
You could give Chrome's Remote Desktop a try. It lets you access the computer in a similar way as splashtop. https://remotedesktop.google.com/access
There are, of course, tons of alternate options out there but this one is free and very quick to get going with
Yeah, I'd be happy to take a quick look using something like https://remotedesktop.google.com/support if you wanted. The analyzer in mixxx can be a bit confusing. You could set up a support session and send me the code in a reddit chat and I could take a look.
do you mean this https://remotedesktop.google.com/support/
or
this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-rdp/cbkkbcmdlboombapidmoeolnmdacpkch?hl=en-US
the first lets you remote into chromebooks to give support. Use it all the time, works great. Once you an get the teacher/student to actually generate a number.
The sencond. RDP client is a RDP client.
Yeah, That happens to me every time. I've read it's an app causing the problem but I've never taken the time to sort through all of them to find the culprit. I just use incognito mode and go to:
If those port forwards were added to your internet router I would recommend removing them. It is a bad idea to leave a remote desktop endpoint exposed to the public internet like that.
That being said - I think you almost had it working. When you're not on the same LAN you need to use the public IP of the target. Go to something like http://ipchicken.com or wherever on your home computer to check your public IP. Then use that public IP as your destination in the Remote Desktop client when you're away from home.
But really, leaving your computer exposed to the public internet like that is a bad idea. A better option would be to install a router that can be set up with OpenVPN (I like pfSense) so that you can connect back to your LAN securely, and then you would just use that same LAN address that you use when physically at home on your LAN.
However, if you prefer ease-of-use and free there's always Chrome Remote Desktop
Assuming all of Google isn't blocked, I've had success using remotedesktop.google.com to remote into a machine at home to get my personal stuff done. That way I can also avoid messing with most of my personal logins at work as well (other than Google, of course).
you can use things like https://remotedesktop.google.com/
but in work is being paid to do work right ??? so if there rules are there consider why you need access to your home pc whilst at work
If you are looking to just access your computer from your phone. I wouldn't spend the time to setup a VPN.
I use [Chrome Remote Desktop] and I haven't looked back, at least for the remote access of my computer.
Steam Remote Play remains your best bet I think for remote gaming. I think you just need Steam running on both PCs, and there's some other steps I'm sure that I don't know how to do. You may need to authorize the guest PC using your account so the host will stream to it; I forget exactly how it works.
Alternatives, though none of them are designed to stream games so you may have dropped frames and input lag issues and they may not be suitable, especially over WiFi, but YMMV:
For Windows you can use the built-in Remote Desktop feature.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028379/windows-10-how-to-use-remote-desktop
If for some reason you can't use this you can use Chrome Remote Desktop, which has the huge added feature of being able to punch through firewalls. However, it is aimed at access over the internet. I believe it will connect directly across LANs but I am not sure if it works without the internet.
The only "free" way to do it, is if you have a windows machine somewhere that you can use Chrome remote desktop on, which would allow you to connect to your windows machine using your chromebook.
You could probably play that way, since it sends a livestream of that computers display to your chromebook, which you can interact with.
It can pretty easily be laggy though, since it relies on multiple connections (the connection from your windows machine to maplestory, your windows machine to google's servers, and then the connection between google's servers and your chromebook), which could make it harder to play.
​
There isn't any way to run maplestory directly on a chromebook due to the operating system chromebooks use, which is Chrome OS.
Chrome OS, which is a linux based OS, is completely different than how windows runs, it's more like a android phone/tablet, than a "real" laptop with windows on it, since you only really have access to what's on the play store etc.
There's a program called Wine which can be used to run some Windows programs on some linux systems, MacOS etc, but it won't help in your case though, since maplestory doesn't work with Wine.
​
TL;DR: You can't run maplestory directly on a chromebook, get a windows laptop or desktop if you want to play maplestory.
This did end up working, after much more pain and headache. Downloading the Chrome Remote Desktop app for ChromeOS on the tablet + going to remotedesktop.google.com/support on any computer (Windows/Mac/Linux) works. As u/SweatySource said, you have to input a code each time, but that's not a big deal. I tested it out by casting to a few different machines at home and there don't seem to be any problems. I'll try it for real in the classroom tomorrow.
