Are you figuring out how to setup a remote desktop?

Our way of setting up remote desktop doesn’t involve painstaking application downloads, installations that run forever or leaving your data vulnerable. These aren’t things you should confront at the best of times, and certainly not when a person is waiting for help. Here’s Zoho Assist, your the easiest and most secure way to setting up your remote desktop

Step 1: Get started with Zoho Assist

  • First, signup for Zoho Assist with your email address, or if you’re already a Zoho user, click on Access Zoho Assist to get started.
  • For timers, we offer a 15-day trial with all our enterprise features. After 15 days, Zoho Assist remains free for personal use.

Step 2: Initiate a remote support session or set up a device for unattended access

  • To initiate an instant on-demand remote support session, click Start Now, or click Schedule to conduct a session at another time.
  • Once you've initiated a remote support session, there are three ways you can invite a person at the remote end.

Step 3: Connect to the remote desktop

  • Once you’ve sent the session invite to the remote customer, establishing connection with a remote computer is simple.

  • To remote connect to a PC configured for unattended access, navigate to Unattended Access and click Connect beside the device you want to access.
