Check How to Set up Chrome Remote Desktop for remote access to any PC
Chrome Remote Desktop works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS. Despite its name, you don’t really need Google Chrome to use the service. We have tested it working in Firefox. However, Google recommends it for the best results, so use Chrome whenever possible. You can also remotely access and control a desktop with an Android or iOS device. We’ll show you how to install Chrome Remote Desktop on each platform so you have everything you need to get started.
You’ll need a Google account, so make sure it’s set up before you continue. Then you will see the home page of Chrome Remote Desktop. There are two headings at the top: Remote Access and Remote Support. Remote access is used to control your own computer from anywhere. Remote Support allows you to control another person’s computer (or have someone else control your computer) by generating a unique code.
Install Chrome Remote Desktop
- The first thing we need to do is install Google Chrome on your computers. Since Chrome can be installed on Windows, Mac, or Linux, it means you can remotely access any of those operating systems as well.
- Once you have installed Chrome, you need to install Chrome Remote Desktop. Click the Add to Chrome button at the top right. A pop-up will appear with the permissions the app needs to work properly. Click Add Application to continue if you agree to the permissions.
- At this point the app should be installed and a new tab should appear where you can see all the apps that have been installed on Chrome. If this tab doesn’t appear, just open a new tab and type chrome://apps/.
- You should see a new icon called Chrome Remote Desktop. Go ahead and click on that to launch the app. In the new window, you will see two sections: Remote Assistance and My Computers. To get started, we need to click the Get Started button under My Computers. If you didn’t already have Chrome installed on your computer, you’ll need to sign in with your Google account first; otherwise everything will appear grayed out.
- You will then get a pop-up message asking you to install the Chrome Remote Desktop Host Installer program on your computer. This is basically the remote desktop client that allows each device to remotely access another device.
- The file will download to your computer (.MSI for Windows, .DMG for Mac, etc.) and you will need to run it manually to install the software. Once you do that, another window will appear that will now ask you to enter a PIN code of at least six digits that you will need to use to connect to the computer remotely. I suggest you use a different code for each computer, instead of the same one.
- Click OK and you should get a message that remote connections have been enabled for the computer. When I did this on my Mac, another window popped up and I had to enter the PIN code again to enable remote connections.
- Again, you need to go ahead and follow this procedure on all the computers you want to be able to access remotely. Note that you can simply install it on a Mac and Windows machine and access the Mac from Windows or vice versa. If you install the app on your phone, you can access your desktops from an Apple or Android device. Unfortunately, the Chrome Remote Desktop app is not yet available in the Microsoft app store.
