Remote desktop chrome Yandex browser. Remotely control your computer using the Google Chrome browser

The beta version of Chrome Remote Desktop allows you to remotely access another computer through the Google Chrome browser. This program can also be used to provide another person with remote access to a computer. It will come in handy when you need help solving a problem with your computer, but there is no person nearby who can help.

And last but not least, the functions of this program can be used to gain remote access to your own computers.

Adding Chrome Remote Desktop

After adding a program, a new tab will open and the program icon will appear in the “Programs” section of the page. If you're using a Chrome device, you can find the program in the programs list.

The first time you open Chrome Remote Desktop, you will need to confirm it to be able to do the following:

View your email;
View computers registered with Chrome Remote Desktop;
Receiving and sending chat messages (this way two computers “talk” to each other).

Granting access to a computer

Once the passcode is entered, the sharing session will begin and your friend will be able to see your computer screen. You can end your session at any time by clicking Revoke Access or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Esc (Mac: Opt - Ctrl - Esc).

When you use this program to give another person access to your computer, that person has full control of the computer, including access to programs, email, files, documents, and history. So be careful.

Connecting to a remote computer

The person who gave you access to your computer will see your email address.

Solving sharing problems

Check your internet connection

To share a computer or gain access to another computer, both computers must be connected to the Internet.

To test your internet connection, open a new tab in Chrome and try opening any website. If the page does not open, check your computer's network settings.

Check your firewall settings

Your computer's firewall may be configured in a way that prevents the program from working properly. Make sure your firewall allows outbound UDP traffic and inbound UDP replies, as well as traffic on TCP ports 443 (HTTPS) and 5222 (XMPP).

Check your NAT Traversal Policy

If your computer is connected to a corporate network, check whether your company's network security policies allow access to external services that use peer-to-peer (P2P) connections (aka NAT Traversal Policy). If not, you won't be able to use Chrome Remote Control.

This limit applies if you and the other computer are not connected to the same corporate network. Contact your company's network administrator to learn more.

Check which version of Chrome you are using

Make sure you are using the latest version of the Chrome browser or Chrome OS.

Check for error messages

If the sharing session cannot be established, an error message may appear.

Continuing to use remote access shouldn't be difficult: you control the remote computer using your keyboard and mouse as usual, but from a Google Chrome browser window or mobile app.
