Chrome Remote Desktop allows users to remotely access another computer through Chrome browser or a Chromebook. Computers can be made available on an short-term basis for scenarios such as ad hoc remote support, or on a more long-term basis for remote access to your applications and files. All connections are fully secured.

Chrome Remote Desktop supports both a remote assistance mode, allowing a user to control another person's computer (typically to diagnose or troubleshoot a problem) as well as a remote desktop mode where a user can connect to another one of his own machines remotely. While remote assistance login via PIN passwords is available for terminals running Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Linux operating systems, the remote desktop functionality is supported for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems with Linux support in beta. It uses VP8 video to display the remote computer's desktop to the user. Under Windows, it supports copy-paste and real time audio feed as well, but lacks an option to disable sharing and transmission of the audio stream.

Chrome Remote Desktop is fully cross-platform. Provide remote assistance to Windows, Mac and Linux users, or access your Windows (XP and above) and Mac (OS X 10.6 and above) desktops at any time, all from the Chrome browser on virtually any device, including Chromebooks.
