Many of us have, at one point or another, struggled with the process of trying to lead a friend (or even a customer) through the steps of troubleshooting a program or other issue on their system, when we aren’t in the room with them. This is tough enough even when you can ‘play along’ on your own system while you try to tell them what steps to take, but when something unexpected happens or they get a different response than you thought they would, you may need something more. You may need the Chrome Remote Desktop extension. Continue reading ..
