There are a plethora of tools using for remote access,ie connecting to one from computer from another wireless, purposes with the likes of Windows default access,Team Viewer & many more.Now Google's Chrome browser gets an extension,a download of 17MB which would enable it as a remote access tool.
The Google Chrome Remote Desktop Beta was launched on Friday,which is a separate extension for Chrome which allows users to remote access their machines through the Chrome Web-browser.This software is supported on multiple platforms and allows enthusiasts to connect to their Windows PC/laptop,Mac's,Linux,ChromeeBooks as long as there is a Google Chrome browser & the Google Chrome Remote Desktop Beta extension.Once installed on the target & host system,then the user just has to click the "share This Computer" & it generates a 12 Digit access code which you must enter in the remote access system for access.If the session/connnection gets disconnected/gets broken,a new 12 Digit accesskey must be generated again.A pop of indicator will indicate which user is remotely accessing currently @ the remote computer.
This extension also uses Google's Gtalk technology to send/receive messages between the target & host system.The performance of the extension depends on the quality of network connectivity & also the speed of the computer.There wont be any audio sent over the Remote connection so you cant hear any voice output of you are playing any videos in the remote system.Now that this version is made available for free,the companies will definitely try to reduce the cost of their Remote access tool & if Google implements more sophisticated features like voice support & more,then it just might edge out the competition in this field.
