 Tom here from Lawrence systems. We're going to talk about Chrome remote desktop. This is actually a really great feature from Google It is free Except for you do have to have a Gmail account or a G suite account either one of those will work So if you want to learn more about me and my company over to Lawrence systems calm I'd like to hire short project there's a hires button up at the top if you want to support the channel out in other ways We have some affiliate links down below to get you deals and discounts on products and services that we talked about and Chrome remote desktop. I've talked about a while ago. The product is well It keeps getting better. They've had a lot of features a lot of fine-tuning So I figured it needed an updated review for 2020 now There's two sides to this first is if you are not and I'll just show you real quick If you are not logged into a Google account, it will just bring you to the login You can't use it without a Google account on both sides the person giving the support needs to have a Google account the person Doing the support needs to have a Google account So right now this session that you're looking at right now is the one that's going to be asking for support And let's say this is someone who you want to connect with because they need help with their computer So like I said, it is a prerequisite that both of you both people on each side of this have a gmail or business gsuite account To get support This is what you'll be walking them through on the phone to say hey, I need remote support And it'll ask them to add the remote desktop as a plug into chrome add the extension And away we go and it's going to install the remote desktop tool Except then install Looks like it did it twice all right Once it's installed it'll let you generate a code. We're going to hit generate code So it's three five one one nine five one eight One one two nine it's got five minutes for them to get connected to this computer to do remote support And this is all running in a virtual machine. Here's another browser window that's actually running in a different computer I know it's a little confusing to see both at the same time, but we just have to paste that code in connect and it is Not connected yet because now they have to say yes, they want to share So it's a multi-step process here And now I'm able to see and I'll minimize this you can see what's going on behind here You can see me moving the mouse. You can see me opening things up And dragging icons around so if I do this over here, actually I'm gonna move it off screen And you can see me dragging things around now on this screen and you can always see right here Your desktop is being shared with tom at lornsystems.com. So yes, it is definitely doing that so Go over here and I can open up folders. I can do things. It's it's really good And this is what I'm seeing on my side everything works right inside the browser I'm able to control in my browser loading no software on actually my computer to offer the support The way we go if I hit this little slide out tab, I can do full screen scale to fit resize hit control I'll delete do print screen f11 remap keys So there's a few different options that you have that I can do in there or I can disconnect the session so there's Pretty straightforward as far as all the different features you have in there easy enough to take control of someone's computer And when i'm done, I can just close and end the session or they can by hitting the stop sharing And i'm out. I'm not logged into this computer anymore. They kicked me out of it Now that code if you try to use it the code is only good for five minutes And does prompt the user so there's a level of security and the big picture of overall security It's as secure as your g-suite account is so keep that in mind So let's go back over here And then talk about the other side of this remote access allow Remote access to this computer click turn on There we go name this desktop Tom's virtual demo YouTube demo So this is just a demo windows machine. I have set up here great a pen All right dirt Don't worry about saving this Yes All right, and what this is doing is installing this on this computer right here So we're going to go over to so tom's virtual online demo systems online Now the key to making this work is You have to and right here's what it looks like you go to the same place the remote desktop google.com Here's where the support was here's remote accesses. Here's that computer tom's virtual youtube demo online I can click on it One two three four five six the super secure pen. Don't worry. I delete this after I'm done And now I have remote access to this computer And if I go over here, you can see I'm moving things around on the screen and it doesn't matter I mean granted for sake of this demo I'm doing this all locally in my own office in my lab here But you can be anywhere remotely and access this computer It does not have to have and I'll even show you will close the chrome browser Yes, it works with the chrome browser closed It will if I restart this computer come back on and restart it and still connect back to it So it's pretty easy to use pretty straightforward And once again the the client side when I'm doing the connecting. I don't need to load anything on my computer It's just the computer that wants to be connected to requires the connection on there and those same options come up with Doing a full screen resize fit This is a really simple way if you have a computer that you want to access from home If you want to easily load this on there and you already have a g-suite account It's as easy as that g-suite or gmail account. Make sure I'm clear on that It is required to show google account, but that's it to get this working. So pretty straightforward It does easily allow you to go through and maintain a computer remotely or just help someone out Especially if you're doing basic family support I wouldn't really consider this because people have asked about using this in the enterprise environments It obviously is not centrally managed and not necessarily the best usage for enterprise environments But it is a good way to help out someone when you have to give them some remote support And it's a great free tool and so many people do have a gmail address or a g-suite account That there's not too hard to find when of course those are free to set up But seeing as a lot of people already use it. It's pretty quick to help someone especially Those of us that work and help family members out You don't want to have to you know round and get any type of special commercial soft or anything like that This is easy It's free and you can set up a handful of computers in here to remotely access them So i'll leave links to it.
