Accessing my mac through my android phone.. Maybe the remote keyboard could use an upgrade. but this is awesome 💯💯. Just found out while using this that we can also use the default phone key board for sending texts.. This is too good 😭

Super smooth and works perfectly! This is what I have been looking for!

Ubuntu 20.04 установщик удаленного рабочего стола Chrome, не создаёт папку конфигурации. Пришлось создайте её вручную, но работает очень странно. На одном компьютере при входе требует несколько раз авторизоваться и в фоне висят несколько залогиненных сессий, а на другом компьютере после перезагрузки постоянно требуется авторизация для доступа к внешним usb-HDD. Жизнь это боль. :-)

잘 사용하다가 얼마전 윈도우 10 업데이트 이후부터인것 같은데.. 컴퓨터-컴퓨터간 접속이 안되고 있습니다. 모바일에서 컴퓨터 접속은 가능하고요. 컴퓨터1 -> 컴퓨터2 : 접속X 컴퓨터2 -> 컴퓨터1 : 접속X 모바일 -> 컴퓨터1/2 : 접속O 왜이런지 모르겠네요.

Poprzednia wersja chrome łączyła bez problemów. Ta - łączy i na ekranie brak obrazu połączonego komputera !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Beautiful from Windows to Windows, or Android to Windows. The new "feature" making the Extension Button an overlay in full screen has been removed! Much appreciated. They listen! Overall this app is top notch, beats Team-Viewer, and there's no pressure for a subscription, hope it stays that way. Windows UAC prompts are available on the remote PC, allowing installations, and admin functions such as the registry and device manager are available remotely. You can even ad-block the side panel if you want. No downsides to report.

Non sono nemmeno riuscito a capire come connettermi... schifo

Jason Owens2021年7月23日

Seems to have progressively gotten worse on Linux (specifically Mint with Cinnamon). Used to work well after doing some frustrating research and manually editing some configuration files. But after some recent updates, it completely fails to run the background services/daemons, and throws "unknown error"s when trying to setup any linux machine to be remotely accessed.

Companion launcher and native messaging bridge for Chrome Remote Desktop

Enables remote desktop access to another computer and remote support, acting as the native messaging bridge between the Chrome Remote Desktop web app and the local native host

1. User clicks extension icon → opens remotedesktop.google.com in new tab. 2. Web app communicates with extension via externally_connectable. 3. Extension relays messages to/from native Chrome Remote Desktop host via nativeMessaging. 4. Extension handles downloading/installing native client when needed.

Target users: IT support professionals providing remote assistance / Users needing remote access to their own computers / Chromebook users accessing remote desktops

Extension source is minified/compiled (event_page_binary.js), limiting deeper code analysis
Cannot directly verify Google account requirement from extension code alone (it's a destination service requirement)

Monetization

No paid features detected

Chrome Remote Desktop is a free Google service with no paid tiers, subscriptions, or premium features. The extension contains no billing logic, payment UI, upgrade prompts, or license checks. All 'pro' keyword matches in the source are false positives from minified JavaScript variable names (prototype, preventExtensions, etc.) and 'license' is just the Apache-2.0 open source license reference.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension is a companion/launcher for the Chrome Remote Desktop web app (remotedesktop.google.com). When clicked, it opens the web app (event_page_binary.js:88). The destination service requires a Google account to set up remote access, host computers, or connect to them. The extension itself has no login UI; authentication occurs at the destination service.

Permission risk
