Another useful addition for those that want to access their PC e.g. when away on holiday, is that you can add a scheduled task on windows to wake your PC up at a fixed time. If you create a scheduled task, check the "wake the computer to run this task" on the conditions tab. You can then put your pc to sleep (not shutdown!) and set it to wake up for example at some fixed time(s) daily & continue to access it remotely. You then do not have to leave it on for long periods when it is not being used.

There is a software that can "wake up" the machine when it is turned off. However , this works on VPro machines. Great for Techinicians.

A new thing I didn't know about, but will now be using. Thanks for the good information!

Cheers bud, works great! Little or no lag. Very simple to setup and use.

Wow thanks, buddy. I've been looking for this!

this is the best demo I found on youtube. i was getting frustrated with it, but this was super clear. I could use a laptop to remote to my mac no problem. However, I then tried to use my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 to do it too. It worked with the keyboard - HOWEVER, you cant use the tablet mouse to move the mouse on the remote computer. If I got that to work, I would be super happy. If anyone has a solution to this, I hope you can reply here. Great job on the video - you have a new subscriber!

You explained this very well. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Very useful. Easy to setup and access.

you are a life saver I am just learning Chrome ,Kinda Thanks I have subscribed

I personally like to use the Chrome Remote Desktop app from the play store on the chromebook as you don’t have to mess with aspect ratio settings or the adress bar, you just click the full screen button in the side menu when you remote

Since I own both a Chromebook & Windows 10 laptop, I need to know how to transfer data between my two machines. This video explains the process for me! Thanks a lot!

The other thing, that you left out, that is awesome about chrome remote desktop is that it survives reboots, thus if the computer updates - non-issue as you remote in then you will log into the computer like you are at work. It is so great. I bought a $169 chromebook from Walmart, 15" screen, only 2GB ram and 16GB hd. Some might baulk that those specs, but I use it over a remote connection, thus all I need it for is display and a keyboard. All the power is coming from my old PC that is hiding behind a bookcase. I remote is and use Visual Studio Code just like I am sitting right there. Turned based games work well too. Pretty much if you are not streaming video or video games, even a slow connection is good enough.

Guys great video once again. Very on point, I'm slowly upgrading my home work space in my kitchen! Anyway, I've got the hp Chromebook x360, I've picked up 2 monitors... I've managed to get them up and going and both working via my a UCB c hub. Anyhow I'm struggling... I'm not sure how to set it up properly, I mirror to the monitors, but whatever is on my chromebook goes to both monitors... I was hoping that I could use one as my main display and the other to move stuff to... For my work I use VDi and log into windows 7 which is great. If I could just figure out these monitors it'll make the whole working from home so much easier .. any ideas? Hope I'm making my clear what I'm meaning. 👍

Last couple of days it has been freezing up on me. If the computer you are logging into has two monitors, will it work if I also connect two monitors at home?

Is there a way to VIEW MULTIPLE MONITORS IN SEPARATE WINDOWS ??? 3 monitors at work and 3 at home. I need ALL of these on separate/respective windows/monitors (it would be too time consuming to continually scroll left and right to view the multiple monitors and too tiny to view all 3 on 1 screen). Thanks

Can this be used for a long duration? Say 20 - 30 days? Will there be any session time out like TeamViewer?

I'm assuming that the remote computer you're connecting to has to have a regular connection right to the Internet. So corporate environments where the office network is behind a firewall won't work ? (e.g. we don't allow connection initiated FROM the Internet to any of our PCs "inside" the corporate network, except for very specific ones - like from our VPN concentrator)

To me this is the real issue. I have used Windows RDC for years to remote in to various company workstations 200 miles away. I must go into their network through a VPN client the company supplies, and then I can log in to any workstation that the network administrator has granted remote login privilege. I do all programming and support using this method. If I switch to a Chromebook from a PC, I will need more information about how to set this up.

What happens if your Mac turns off, reboot the file you started with?

@Stephen_A.

Can't let the Mac shut down, rebooting is fine because it will "start up" again. To keep the Mac from shutting down due to a power surge, plug the Mac into a battery backup to keep it running even with a short power outage.

Can I turn off my PC by this tool?

Well, there was something I didn't know. If it shuts down etc then the 'connection' is lost. I thought I had it set up on an old Chromebook I left for my 91 yrs old mother. (see, there IS a reason to be able to remote in) Now that she's forgotten how to do anything (due to lack of use) I'd like to remote in and show her how again. But now I have to figure out if I can lead her to the screen to set up the session again. It may have to wait until I'm physically with her with both machines. Unless I can sign in on mine from home while she's on hers....would she see what I'm doing?
