Remote Desktop Sharing

You may need to take control of the End User’s system to analyze the issues. Using the Remote Desktop feature, you can take remote control of the End User’s system to perform the requested activities.

The following are the various methods of Basic Remote Desktop Sharing:

  • In the E-mail Method, an e-mail is sent to the End User requesting for permission to access the computer. Once the End User gives permission, the Analyst can take control of the End User's desktop.
  • In the Stealth Mode, no permission is required from the End User to access the system. For Stealth Mode, the SummitAI Agent should be installed and running on the End User's system.
  • In the URL method, on the REMOTE DESKTOP SHARING page send Request to the End User and share the Remote Desktop URL and the Session Code over phone any other communication method (if mail is not working).
