You can connect to a remote desktop in web without installing an additional client software.

Your browser must support WebRTC and WebSocket. Compatible with:

• Google Chrome (v23 and later)
• Mozilla Firefox (v22 and later)
• Opera (v18 and later)
• Edge (v15 and later)
• Safari (v11 and later)

Types of Connection¶

Connect via a one-time link generated by the agent on a remote desktop. See Quick Access for more details.

Continuous access from your account¶

Clicking on the connection link will open a browser window. The process of connection to the remote desktop will automatically start.

The connection consists of three stages:

1. Opening a WebSocket connection to the server
2. Opening a WebRTC connection to a remote desktop

Status of the connection progress is displayed in the start window:

Managing a Remote Desktop¶

In addition to the standard mouse and keyboard, a complete set of features for managing a remote desktop is available. You can find them on a special control panel:
