How to control Computer from your Phone

Before I start, wishing all my readers a very Happy New Year…


Want to pause a streaming YouTube video from the comfort position or email a forgotten file from home to office, gain full control over your PC from your Smartphones. In this tutorial I’ll explain the simplest way to control your Computer (Windows or Mac) from your Smartphones, no matter where you are as it uses an Internet Connection to connect with the device.





Things needed:

Ø Google account






First of all you have to set up your PC with Chrome Remote Desktop, so that it can receive connection from your Smartphone. Just follow the steps.

·        Download ‘Chrome Remote Desktop’ on your Desktop browser by clicking the above given link. Then click on ‘Add to Chrome’.





·        Click on ‘Add app’ which will add it to chrome browser as an extension.







 ·        Once it installed to the Chrome browser launch it, this has to be done once then forget about the extension as it runs in background.





·        Here you can see two tabs, one is ‘Remote Assistance’ and another is ‘My Computers’. Click Get Start on ‘My Computer’ and enable the remote connections. (A software will be download just install it.)





·        To protect your System you must set a PIN, this PIN is required every time when you connect it to your PC, and if you don’t to enter PIN again and again, you can remember it through Mobile app. Once you set your PIN then your remote connections will be enabled in your PC. (Note: If you are using Laptop, make sure to configure to not sleep or shutdown, under the power management.)





You may thinking about the disable option of the remote connections, please be cool because your system is protected with a PIN so nothing to worry or in some any reason you want to stop the remote connections you can remove your PC.





That’s it you are done with your PC, now get the Chrome Remote Desktop app on your iPhone or Android from the link given above.


·        Download Chrome Remote Desktop app on your phone and open it, you may ask to login to your Google account (this happens mostly in IOS devices), just sign in and continue. Now you see name of your PC in the app, tap on it to access your PC from anywhere. Then wait for a moment to connect to your PC.





·        Now it will ask for the PIN which you set in your PC, (you can tick in the checkbox, by doing so it won’t ask again to enter the PIN) then tap on connect.





Here you can view your PC from your Smartphone and can control from your Smartphone’s touchscreen. Just swipe the screen to control mouse, one tap on the screen will do left click and two finger tap will do right click.





So enjoy your PC at your finger point on your Phone, having any trouble in Chrome Remote Desktop, let me know under comments and I’ll be happy to help you.
