Kevin, You are a totally natural teacher and one of the greatest teachers that I have ever seen. I know that, not only because I am a retired teacher who for forty years observed hundreds of others in the teaching profession, but also because of the specific opportunity of being able to compare your online explanations to other people's online explanations of exactly same things. They are working hard and are certainly doing their best, but few of them seem to have the level of skill that you have--that precious skill that a great teacher must have--seeing the subject that they are teaching from the position of the students to whom they are teaching it. You are obviously an expert in the hundreds of subjects that you explain, but some of the worst explanations I have seen come from experts, even the experts who created what they are explaining, because they just cannot manage to view it like the neophyte who lacks their knowledge. Teaching is certainly a skill that can be taught to some extent, but my experience suggests to me that it is primarily an inborn skill. I can tell that you have done a tremendous amount of work to perfect your videos, and they are a close to perfect as you could get them. But, sadly, even hard work isn't enough for those who lack your natural teaching ability to match your natural results. Thanks for doing what you are doing.

This video is big help for a parent that needs computer support but has trouble installing an extension from instructions over the phone. 👍👍👍

Another great tutorial from Kevin.Kevin, you're amazing. thank you

Your tutorials are easy to understand, direct to the point, and very helpful!

Broo, thank you so much, it took me 6 hours to find your video! Works! bless

Hello Kevin. I recently found you on KZread and let me just say that you are simply AWESOME! I am learning a lot from you when it comes to tech stuff. I have one request: Can you do a tutorial on how to create a good podcast?

Thanks. Found and started using a few weeks ago. It works so well.

Was just about to go the long route setting up RDP through my carrier then this gold nugget of a video came to my feed. Implemented it and tested it and glad to report it works awesome. Kevin you are becoming my favorite ❤ KZreadr.

As always Kevin, a great job explaining the details on how to install and use this software. You saved me a lot of time and agony. Thank you.

Loved this video Kevin! Thank you so much

Great... Kevin... always simple and useful

Good One ....🙂 I tried it and works flawless... It has potential of replacing anydesk as the full screen mode is really immersive

Awesome tips here, installed the extension and was connected to my remote PC in minutes!

Thank you Kevin.Wonderful video.

Great as usual. Always has very very beneficial videos.

This is great ! Thank you so much. As always very important video.

Thanks a lot for sharing! I'm so happy I found this channel.

Awesome tutorials, Kevin. TY

Ok, Now i get it. You forgot to mention that these computers are logged into the same account. You might have added to this, that you can access a 2nd computer with a different account, but you must use the Remote Support Share Screen to control of someone else's pc. BTW, its not just a share screen, you have total control of that 2nd pc via that control method.

Newly issued VPN connection causing access issues to certain websites. NP Chrome Remote to another PC for the access as a temporary workaround while work patches the access.

Kevin, I think that there's an element of resistance in using anything that routes traffic through Google's servers. Would you consider a similar video but using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection and doing it with a VPN like Tailscale ?

Thanks for this tips. very powerful

Yes! Need This.

Thank you It works fine.

Hi Kevin, thank you for the video. Would a Chrome Box be suitable as a remote computer for Chrome Remote Desktop? What level of performance is needed for this to work? BTW can I install MS Edge on a Chrome Box?

Goody ! Very much like Anydesk or Teamviewer. Thanks, Kevin.

Thanks for sharing.

A very complete video. The explanation is perfect. Thank you very much. I would recommend a video on Supremo, which I think is a fantastic alternative and so I get the most out of it with your explanations.

Awesome video! I had no trouble using the Chrome browser option on my phone (SAMSUNG Fold 3) , but when using the App, it didn't seem to work that well...just providing feedback

Hey kevin i was going through your Chrome remote Dekstop video its helpful I need to check if we can use two screens remotely.

Thank You Kenvin. But one question to connect remotely other pc does it require to be same network or net

Hello, I really like the way you explain the topic. I do however want to know, when remoting into someone else's computer, do they need to download the app 1st, or just accept the access code you described?

Thanks for the video! @KevinStratvert do you know if there's a way to specify a UNIX user to login as in the Remote Desktop? When I use it for Linux PC, it logs in as `manager` - ideally I'd want to change it to a different one

You should do one for a cheap VPC and chrome remote desktop.

Absolute Hands down best Remote Desktop software out there easy and not really clunky. If I can say its google's best software. Just is a little hard for novice people use but not really. lol

Can Chrome Remote Desktop also be used to give support to family member's Android phones from my Win11 (w/Chrome) computer, or from my Android phone? Thanks

Hi Kevin, I needed to help a fried out some distance away from me and watched your video on how to set up Google remote desktop which I found easy to do while watching your video on the subject however once connected which went quickly and while I was in my friends PC my mouse seemed to be non-responsive whith a lot I was trying to do so had to instruct my friend to do certain things. Your video showed the movement and actions being quite fluid yet mine was not any suggestions or thoughts on why this would happen to me? I have good speeds and I believe my friend does too

Any other Remote Desktop Software that you also recommend alongside Chrome Remote Desktop? Are there better solutions but for a price for example? Or other solutions with more features? I have seen a number of such software solutions but have not tried them all. Great video.

Hi Kevin, thank you for this great information. I truly appreciate your efforts to help others. Please my question is that can you use it to connect to a remote VPS server? Thank you

Great video. I was wondering how secure is this ?

I came across this video just yesterday and went to google to get the download and it works. Question if anyone knows: Windows 11 will sleep/hibernate but I will be able to access computer on my phone (shortly). If the computer goes to hibernate/sleep for a while is the computer still in "hibernate/sleep" mode or is the computer shut down as I see the power key light "off"? I guess I will test out later today...

Do you have to be connected to the internet or can it be through any wifi? I run sound and connect my tablet to a wifi router that is connected to my computer which controls my mixer app. Many times i will not have access to internet. Yes i can control my mixer remotely but i would like to share the screen as i have other plugin apps that im unable to control this way. If i could share the screen then i would be able to control them. Hope that makes sense. I thought if i could somehow connect both computers to the same wifi that is not connected to the internet, maybe i could still share the screen.

Thanks Kevin, do you know how long this generated code will be valid for other person to login ? and do I need to approve it only once ?

your dbest man!!

Great tutorial! I have a question. Can I shut down my remote computer and then start it again?

Great video! Thank you! Can the home computer be on sleep mode in order to use Remote Desktop or does it always have to be on?

Excellent Kevin! Love your videos. One question though ....how can the remote computer protect itself from "just anyone" accessing it? For example, other services like TeamViewer and UltraVNC accomplish the same thing, but if these programs are not running, then there's no way to be accessed from "just anyone".

That’s a great video! Can you tell me how to connect from a Windows PC to a remote iPad? Thanks in advance.

Hello Kevin, can i use this feature for 10 computers to access into the 1 host computer to see the screen of host.

Best to have VPN on both sides? Or only the sharing side? Or access side?

Does the host pc need to confirm my connection each time or only the first time?

DUDE! Seriously, I'm a Technical Writer and IT Trainer with 20+ years' experience, and every single thing of yours that I've seen here and on TikTok is absolutely TOP DRAWER stuff. There isn't another IT content creator that I've ever had more confidence in, or respect for. About Chrome Remote Desktop -- it seems too good to be true. How does it compare with Windows RDP for features, stability, and security? Thanks, Tony,

hi kevin quick quistion plz , if my computer has a pin how do i log in to it from my tablet using Chrome Remote Desktop ????

Is there an option for just transferring files straight to and from the other computer?

Thanks for this video. Please take note - the PC should be signed in with admin privileges - Remote Desktop cannot remote into the Windows Sign-In - you could lose remote access when the PC goes idle

Great video and easy to understand. Now, is it possible to access an Android phone from a pc?

If my understanding is correct, then google's remote desktop name is somewhat misleading (assuming they are implying that their tool is a Microsoft Remote Desktop alternative). The Remote Desktop utility that comes with Windows (server version requires Windows Pro or higher) is not a help oriented tool. The screen on the remote computer's end will remain locked. So, for example, you can access the computer in your employer's office, and not worry that someone is there that can see what you are doing. It seems as if google's version is more like VNC, or Microsoft's Quick Assist, that allows the parties at both ends to view the activity on their screen, as well as both parties having full keyboard control and full mouse control. Also, unlike Microsoft's Remote Desktop, it looks like google's version requires an internet connection, and your trust in having all of your data go through a google server, somewhere on the planet. So if you have two PCs, side-by-side, and you use google's remote desktop, then your session is going out into the world and back, just to access a PC that is two feet away. With Microsoft's Remote Desktop, no internet connection is needed. If your two computers are on your own network, then you can connect directly. No one needs to approve your connection to the remote computer. You just log-in to that remote computer as if your keyboard was connected to it. Kevin, is my understanding correct? By the way, I mistakenly installed Windows 10 Home (instead of Windows 10 Pro) on a computer that I want to connect to via Microsoft's Remote Desktop. That computer does not have an internet connection, but it is on my local network. I could upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. But that is expensive. Is there a Remote Desktop alternative, that does not require an internet connection? I have not used VNC in 15 years. Is it a viable solution? Or is there a better option?

I have Windows 10 Professional for RDP but I also use TightVNC for that "assistant"-style remote control that requires a monitor connected. Pretty sure Microsoft RDP doesn't require a monitor connected to the host and allows concurrent sessions. I think your only other alternative to it is Tailscale or some Citrix product, or perhaps RoyalTS. I would avoid any SolarWinds software as they've had major security vulnerabilities and a poor record of security in the past few years.

I use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to connect my Windows desktop computer to a Window virtual machine that I setup on my NAS. It's all on the same network and works beautifully. I have confirmed with SpaceRex ( also here on YT ) that using Tailscale as my VPN of choice, I will be able to remotely connect to that same virtual machine using RDC if I install Tailscale on the virtual machine ( internet connection required of course ). Now my connections are all direct,machine to machine, without going through Google's servers. If you have never used Tailscale, it's worth a try. Free, easy to setup, and pretty much seamless.

In your first example, I believe that you were logged into your Google account when setting up both computers, so when you went to that web site, it showed only your computer as a selection. I found later in the video how you connect to another persons computer, but the 1st example was a bit confusing. Great video, however.

Great, thans you for shaming!
