this is clickbait. you never showed us RDP. RDP is a protocol used by Windows.

This has RDP in the title and doesn't cover RDP. Why?

On second 2:05, what is the username and password I should use?

[sbera]

honestly this is pointless if you don't show the actual physical connections to the pi

Once I set up my raspberry pi with VNC, can I send it at a friends house and access it from there or will I need to configure it on their network?

I could not connect remotely with my rasp pi 4 using remote desktop app (WIN 10) but the way you showed solved the problem. Thank you a lot !
