Making your computer accessible remotely might sounds like a security risk, but it's actually quite safe. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through how Chrome Remote desktop works, and how you can use it to remotely access your PC or Mac no matter where you are. That’s a huge help to me, but Chrome can do a lot more, connecting Macs and PCs without a Chrome OS intermediary and providing an easy way for a trusted friend to gain remote access to your computer when you need a little tech support.
To get that done, I’ve been using Chrome Remote Desktop to turn my Chromebook into a terminal for my other machines. I do run the host without running Chrome – that’s not even needed to install the host service if you don’t mind a few extra stesp to register the host from the command prompt.Īny ideas and thoughts are appreciated.While I love the long battery life and easy portability of my new Chromebook, sometimes I just need to access my Mac or PC.
Am I the only one to run into this? Other than this problem, Chrome Remote Desktop works well for my needs, and the price is right. There isn’t any info on this issue that I can find. On a few that I access a lot I run a scheduled task that restarts the service once a day: >. This happens repeatedly on many or all of these PCs. Restarting the service fixes the problem.
I can access those PCs another way, and the service is still running. Eventually the host stops responding to a remote connect request, although it still shows as online in my list of devices. The only piece running on the host is the host service, installed from I use Chrome Remote Desktop a lot, with about 20 PCs.
