Splashtop questions, answered.
Is there a Splashtop SOS alternative that runs in the browser?
For view-only help, yes: Anslation Remote uses the browser’s own screen sharing, so the person you help downloads nothing. Splashtop SOS has them download and run its app.
Can Anslation Remote help someone on a phone?
They can join and chat from a phone, but screen sharing needs a desktop browser.
Does Anslation Remote have an agent like Splashtop’s streamer?
An optional agent for managed devices reports device status and runs terminal commands that pass the policy check, with nobody at the device only under an access rule; it has no screen sharing, keyboard or mouse control of its own.
