[adamrafferty]

Scott - can this be used between 2 google accounts? i.e. I'd like to have quick remote access to be my girfirends IT person. If she's logged in to her google acct, but i'm in mine - is this possible? Wiat - looks like you are addressing support and 6:20...

Thanks for the video! Question: is there a way to access a document camera using remote desktop? I'd like to be able to walk around my classroom with one laptop and control everything from my laptop that has to be connected to the wall

can i on my pc through this please tell ?

[progCan]

btw this app is made by google so it is %100 secure. there is just a few bugs that would "break" your computer however if you manage to restart your computer (i used the BUTTON to do it) then it is back to normal after 5 minutes of using. OR INSTEAD OF ALL THESE JUST DONT PRESS "fit desktop to screen size" OR SOMETHING IN THE THREE DOTS MENU.

When attempting to access your home computer (as per your example) what if it is in a "sleep" mode?

[wadeplowman]

I have this on my office computer and my laptop. When I'm out on the job or at my house and want to access to my office computer, how do I get it "online". For instance it shows my office computer is "offline" when it goes to sleep. How do I wake it up from my laptop?

I'm still missing something. My screen doesn't look like this. I downloaded it on my work computer. Set it up and then set up a password. I then do the same process on my laptop. The trouble is that I cannot connect the two. I'm missing a step.

My computer that I want to access is on but it has a login to open it. It's a Mac. Can I still remote in to it?
