My only complaints are that audio quality is still choppy even on good connections, the UI is lackluster - perhaps even a little dated, having to constantly switch between showing and hiding the keyboard is annoying, and it doesn't take long for the session to disconnect itself if/when i briefly leave the app running in the background for any reason. In my experiences, i can only ever use it in trackpad mode, since it actually shows the mouse and allows for the usual trackpad functions, but it tracks mouse movements almost perfectly, works with multiple display fine, and has easy zooming in and out for ease of use and accessibility. it's nice to at least be able to check in on my laptops when i'm away from it, especially during processes that'll take a long time. and while i will always prefer to use my laptop directly, through various changes in laptops and phones, this app hasn't caused me any major problems as of yet. I've been using this app for years for various reasons. Free and secure remote desktop software for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS for remote support, control, monitoring, screen share, file transfer and live. It works, and that's all it has to do for me. I hope you would take this suggestion into consideration because it would be so helpful to most of not all users of the Chrome Remote Desktop app. Yes my device is connected via USB to my machine. That would really bring it all together, and instead of having it integrated make it a custom Keyboard that you have to enable in settings and all that but have its option settings in the app. Yes I have USB debugging turned on on my phone Yes I have USB debugging turned on in Chrome for Android. It bugs me quite a bit that they haven't thought to do it yet because it is nessessary! How is anyone supposed to use Esc or any of the other essential keys?! A 4 layer keyboard would be great, first layer has the letters, backspace, Shift/CapsLock, space bar, return/enter and the main punctuation marks ( like most regular keyboards) And again like most keyboards there would be a second and third layer of numbers and other symbols and then ANOTHER layer that has all the Esc, Ctrl, Shift, Windows, Tab, Print Screen, F1-F12 buttons among others. I have been using this app for a while now and it has been incredibly useful in so many situations but there is one thing that bugs me so much The app needs is own custom Keyboard, a semi transparent, customizable keyboard. You can stop sharing your desktop at any time, using the Stop Sharing button on the toolbar which will appear on your computer’s screen.I LOVE THE APP BUT THERE IS SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDED. This is a good solution for remote desktop control while on the go - and it’s free, too. It does stall at times, but that isn’t a deal-breaker. As long as it’s powered on, and you have a good internet connection, you can do this anywhere you are. You can now control your PC in real-time from your Android device. If you’re absolutely sure that losing your device is impossible, you can set the app not to ask for a PIN code when connecting to your computer from the respective Android device, but I don’t recommend it. Once you’ve done that, and confirmed the PIN a second time, you can return to your Android device and start the remote desktop app you installed earlier. Since you don’t want someone with access to your Android device to automatically have access to your computer, too, you’re required to set a PIN code (at least six figures long). The next step is the most important in terms of security.

Then, Enable remote connections, as shown below. So click Get started in the My Computers section. You just need to give the other user the code you get from the app, in order to receive assistance (or the other way around, to provide it).īut you’re here to get access to your own computer, so the option you need is the other one. On the next screen, you’ll find out, if you didn’t already know, that you can use the service to provide remote assistance, too which is a simple process.

Then, go through the few steps needed to authorize the app. More details about running Chrome Apps can be found in this article.

You’ll find it in your Chrome Apps launcher. Once everything’s installed, start the app on your computer. Once installed, fire up Chrome on your computer and install the Chrome Remote Desktop app.
