How to Install and configure Chrome Remote Desktop

One of the best alternatives to manage an operating system or PC and its errors is using remote desktop technology which basically allows a connection to be established from a distance without the need to physically go to the location, this saves time and resources, although there are apps dedicated to this, many of us do not know that through Google Chrome it will be possible to carry out these tasks and that is what TechnoWikis will explain to you today..

 

We are talking about Google Chrome Remote Desktop which is a utility with which it will be possible to remotely access and control another computer using the Google Chrome browser, the only condition is that the host computer and the client computer must be turned on and connected to the network to access Google Chrome Remote Desktop.

 

Be aware of Chrome
A few things to keep in mind before using this Chrome utility:

 

  • The firewall must allow incoming UDP responses, TCP traffic on port 443 (HTTPS), and TCP and UDP traffic on port 3478 (STUN)
  • Use the latest version of Chrome
  • Disable VPNs

 

 

 

 

Now TechnoWikis will explain how to activate the Remote Desktop function of Google Chrome..

step 14

It is time for us to see how Google Chrome Remote Desktop works, to validate this on another PC we open Google (with the same user account) and in a new window we go to the URL:

 

 Chrome Remote Desktop

step 15

There it will be possible to see the PC that has been previously configured, hence the importance of assigning a name that allows us to identify it, we click on it and we must enter the pin that was previously established:

step 16

If we wish, we can activate the "Remember my pin on this device" box so that we do not have to enter it each time we access it:

step 17

Continuing will establish the connection to the remote PC that was configured in Google Chrome:

step 18

When this connection is validated, it will be possible to grant the permissions (if applicable) in the window at the top of the browser:

step 19

There you will have full access to the remote PC from Google Chrome:

step 25

step 26

We return the PC where the Google Chrome Remote Desktop was configured: There it will be possible to click on the "Remote Assistance" option to see the difference,

step 27

In this case we can generate a code to give it to the person who will provide assistance. If we are the one who gives the support, we can enter the code in “Connect to another computer”.

This is how Google Remote Desktop becomes an ally for remote support in a dynamic way.
