The person with a Chromebook wants to replicate your steps here and view the same URL. Just head to using the Chrome browser from a computer and you’ll see a web version of the extension. Technically, I believe the extension is a Progressive Web App using this URL. But so too is a special URL if you don’t have or want to install the extension. But a common question I get, mainly for troubleshooting reasons is: How can I remotely control a Chromebook from another computer?Ĭhrome Remote Desktop is still part of the equation here. You just install the Chrome Remote Desktop extension, follow the directions and you’re off. In order to join a meeting, you need the ID to it – the person who invites you will have it, along with a password if necessary.Chromebooks have long supported remote desktop access to other computers. The other tab on your interface is for meetings – you can both host and join meetings, schedule them, and more. Enter them in the relevant fields and you’ll be good to go!

In order to take control instead, the other party will need to share their ID and password with you instead. Tip: You can change your password whenever you want to!

By sharing this info with someone, you can give them access to your machine.

You can find an ID and a temporary password here. In order to use the remote control features of your program, use the Remote Control tab of your interface. You can find instructions on TeamViewer meetings, remote control and more. If you need help with using the software, you can find help by clicking on this link.

You’ll be able to give others access to your Chromebook, or take control of someone else’s – the same functions you’d expect on any other machine! You’ll have access to the same functionality you would on any other system – including the top-of-the-screen bar and controls. Wait for it to install and start it up like you would any other installed program. Go to the Google Web Store (or click this link) and download the TeamViewer extension.
