What it looks like to access a Mac from a Windows machine with TeamViewer. Your linked computers connect to each other through a TeamViewer account, which is free to set up and lets you see your devices wherever you sign in. TeamViewer will guide you through the process of setting your computer up for unattended access, which basically involves giving it a name and a password.

Then open it and choose the option marked Installation to access this computer remotely (the other option is for accessing the computer while somebody else is using it). First, download the app onto the computer you’ll want to connect to. Drag down from the top of the screen to access mouse and keyboard controls.Īnother free and easy option is TeamViewer, though business use requires a paid license ( from $660 a year). This quality is generally in HD 4k depending on the platforms previous settings, or in any case, by default by the service. Tap on any of them to enter the PIN and connect. TeamViewer maintains a highly stable quality as far as video is concerned, as this is not lost even if the connection is poor, even if the image may freeze. When you fire up the Chrome Remote Desktop app for Android or iOS, you’ll see a list of computers where remote access has been enabled.

If you’re on a phone or tablet, you’ll use a similar process to gain access to your original machine.
