I found this nifty little app "Chrome Remote Desktop" that allows you to acces and control a secondary computer through Chrome. With this app I was able to control my laptop with my computer at work, and vise versa. The only thing that needs to be active is Chrome on both computers and a gmail account.

For me this is not only handy with autoing at home, but also to be able to access my work from my couch :)

Why not just use teamviewer? :o

Who doesn't have Chrome these days, this means I would be able to check on bots using the uni computers. :o

Teamviewer times out after a a bit I think

hmm that is pretty cool, will definitely check it out for offices instead of teamviewer license

Add a poll asking which might be better: chrome remote control or teamviewer.

I prefer TightVNC

Wait… so chrome is able to take control of your mouse and keyboard?

Teamviewer, if you want the process running in background and when you logoff of the computer (as a service) etc, so you can login anytime, whether the computer is logged in or not

chrome if a person is there or if you can just leave it going

what instances?

Couldn't you just use an RDP software? Or just the standard windows software.

This is perfect since work doesn't allow tv on our computers

good to see chrome a feature like that :3 now I can access it during school :)

I've actually found something similar within Firefox :P It's pretty neat

the 500 processes that chrome creates when you browse lol

google says everything is sandboxed, all tabs by themselves, etc

Its Sick, So Much less hassle than TV:P
