hello and welcome to another tutorial from windowslovers.com this is your host
sproutsworld and this is a deep dive into google chrome remote desktop tool so let's get started
as always please like the video if this was helpful i try my best to reply to everyone's
queries in the comments section below so please leave your comments and feedback in the comment
section below and finally subscribe if you like tech all right so what is google chrome
you know desktop so if you are familiar with the term remote support slash remote desktop this is
just another tool which will allow you to remotely connect to another pc if you're not familiar with
the term it basically means that you can connect to a computer that is not physically available in
front of you via the internet and use it as it is in front of you and uh please feel free to
use the timestamps to skip forward to a part that you want to watch as this might be a lengthy video
but i'll definitely try my best to keep it as short and as helpful as i can so some of the key
points in the video are we're going to go through installation or setup on how to install this tool
different modes of fremont texture connections and how to remotely connect to another pc using
this tool and also how to use this on a phone or tablet i'm going to use a iphone for the
purpose of this video but you can use this on an android phone or tablet the same way
all right so first what are the tools you'll need the first one is google chrome obviously it is a
free browser that you can download and install if you haven't already but i'm guessing that since
you're watching this tutorial you probably already have google chrome and second thing is google
chrome remote desktop tool which is also available for free these two are the main tools we're going
to use for this uh for this tutorial so let's go ahead and do the installation of the setup
part all right so assuming you already have google chrome if you don't have google chrome to google
search and install google chrome and second is you want to go to remotedesktop.google.com access
i'll leave the link in the description as well so that'll be easier for you to to get to this page
quickly all right so once you are on this page if you're not logged in with your google account
you want to log in as a google account i'll go through the process and why you will need that
in the future all right so what you want to do now is you want to download this tool you can you can
use this link or on the top right corner you will see a download link as well so they will download
the same tool so click on that so the first it will download a plugin so click on add to chrome
click on add extension and let it download the tool completely so as you can see it says ready
to install click on accept install so if you uh by mistake went to another tab or closed a browser
you can just install this msi file directly from wherever you've downloaded and it says allow to
open click on yes and this will go through the installation process now and what you need to
do is you need to rename this pc so you can name it anything so for the purpose of this video i'm
going to rename it as pc click on next and choose a pin it has to be at least six numbers into the
pin again click on start so now as you can see this is listed under this pc okay so now basically
your pc is set up for remote access so now let's go through what are the different kinds of remote
connection that you can use or you can provide the first thing is for example you have this device um
added to your account so for example on another account or another computer when you go and log
in to remote desktop.google.com and you log in with your google account
you will see your pc okay for example if you have another computer that does not belong to you for
you to remotely connect to this pc you will need to sign in with your google account because this
device is listed and available under your google account that's a scenario one scenario two is
you want to share your screen with another person or another person once a wants you to connect to
their pc for you to provide them support or show them something so in that case what you would
do is go remote support so either you share your screen or you connect to another computer okay so
for example for example i want to share my screen what i will do is i'll click on generate code and
now as you can see the the code has been generated so if i give this code to another person and if
they go to remote desktop google.com regardless of what account they're signed in if they put in this
code they will be able to connect to this pc so now what i'm going to do is i'm going to
enter the code on the second pc that i have and remotely connect to the main computer over here
so i'm going to go to remote support and i'm going to go to connect on the computer
and enter the code and click and connect as you can see the connection has
started so after i've entered the code on another computer where i want to remotely connect in from
it gives me a prompt on the main computer saying would you like to allow this person to see and
control a computer so this email address is my email that is logged into another computer
so if you click on share now it will say the desktop is currently shared with the person here
so as you can see i can control and i can see the computer or the remote computer
from another pc so that's how you connect to another computer or vice versa using a code
but if i want to remotely connect to this computer if i want to connect to project pc from another
computer or the tablet that i use to connect remotely what i need to do is as you can see
it says setup remote access so you're gonna download that tool again on another computer
the exact same process we did before
it's going to give the same name that it's giving me now the only
difference is when you try to remote access you have to make sure that you know the pin
that is set up your pressable pc or the pc you're trying to connect to from
now as you can see um i can't see prezible pc because i'm not logged in with my own
google account so what i'm going to do is i'm going to log in with my personal
account that has this pc loaded
now as you can see i can see my computer listed but at the bottom if you see it says setup remote
access and if i enable remote access uh from this account the another account will be disabled so
for example if you have set up a remote desktop for this laptop and then you log in with another
account which has another pc you want to connect to then it gets disconnected it might be a bit
confusing but you will get a hang of it once you do it yourself and you will see what i mean so
i'll just click on that pc and i'm going to enter the pin that i entered when i was creating uh
the project pc remote device for the first time and now it's connecting so what's the difference
between these two the first one is you need a code which expires after a few minutes while
once you have these devices set up on your google account you can log into your google account from
any computer and then as long as your computer is turned on on on the remote side or at home you can
connect to a computer remotely without having to enter a code or you definitely need your pin
or you don't need to uh need anyone to sit here and generate a code for you every time it makes
it very seamless as well now let's see how you can do this or how you can connect to this device
using your your phone so i'm gonna like i said i'm gonna use an iphone but it's
definitely the same process on android as well now on your phone what you wanna do is you wanna go
to the app store and search for remote desktop or chrome remote desktop you want to be more precise
chrome remote desktop and you should look for the chrome remote desktop that has this icon
tap on that and click on get as long as it's from google llc you don't want to download
anything else you want to make sure that this is exactly the same app you're downloading
tap on get and the downloading has started it should take a couple of minutes and the download
has completed tap on open while the app is loading please make sure you give this video a thumbs up
uh any questions please leave them in the comment as well and now back to the app it's
asking you to sign in so tap on sign in tap on the google account that you prefer to sign in with
and now as you can see this has already loaded my pc so if you uh this is the pc this is the same
account that i used to sign up and now if i tap on it it's connecting to my pc and into the pin so
now as you can see uh the computer i can connect to the computer and i can use it as i would so
this is not this is not very useful when it comes to multitasking and stuff like that but
if you want to get something quickly if you're on the go and you remember there's a file that
you need on your hard drive then you can quickly go and send it to your onedrive or send send an
email or something like that so this is very very handy when you need it so i have been in
situations where i had to do this even though i use other ways to do it i have one drive setup
and everything so it's different but yes this is how you would use it on an android as well and
this is how i use it on my iphone if required the bigger screen you have you can just go into your
landscape mode which makes it very easy as well and so yeah that's how you use google chrome on
your phone and on your computer as well so if i've missed anything please make sure you leave them in
