Chrome Remote Desktop questions, answered.
Do I need to install anything for Chrome Remote Desktop?
According to Google’s help page, the person sharing downloads and installs Chrome Remote Desktop before generating a code. With Anslation Remote the person you help installs nothing.
Does Anslation Remote work in Chrome?
Yes. The person you help can share from Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a computer.
Can I use Anslation Remote to reach my own PC from elsewhere?
Not its screen: every screen session is attended, so someone at the PC has to join and share it. If the PC runs the optional agent, is set for unattended access and an access rule covers it, an operator can run terminal commands on it from elsewhere.
