G+_Joseph Rivera Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Can anyone help me with this new Hangouts Remote Desktop? I installed the app and so did the other guy. I was able to accept his request to have access to my computer but although it said that we were connected, he didn't have control of my desktop at all. It was more like me sharing my screen...that's it. Am I missing something? I'm not sure if this is the right "forum" but I trust the TWiT community. Thanks!

G+_Mathew Hoffman Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You have to add an app... Left side of hangout screen view more apps the add an app and you'll see the remote desktop option. I have tried this with a couple of people and have found two issues so far... 1 doesn't work with chromebooks or chromium and the person you are hanging with has to have a G+ account.

G+_Tony Hannides Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Mathew Hoffman Yea. both of us already had the app installed but still didn't work. I guess Google's working on it still. it's not beta but it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mathew Hoffman Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Tony Hannides I have used it successfully - but you may be right that its still being worked on as my strike rate has been 1 from 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
