Setup and safety.
- SetupWith UltraViewer both sides run the app, and the person being helped reads out an ID and a password. With Anslation Remote your team gives a code that works once and expires after 15 minutes.
- A safety noteThe ID and password are what let a helper connect, so share them only with someone you contacted yourself.
