"Chrome Remote Desktop" is a new extension for Google Chrome browser users which is the first installment on a capability allowing users to remotely access another computer through the Chrome browser or a Chromebook.
The extension is currently under beta testing and the goal of this beta release is to demonstrate the core Chrome Remoting technology and get feedback from users.
This beta version enables users to share with or get access to another computer by providing a one-time authentication code. Don't worry! Access is given only to the specific person the user identifies for one time only, and the sharing session is fully secured.
One potential use of this version is the remote IT helpdesk case. The helpdesk can use the Chrome Remote Desktop BETA to help another user, while conversely a user can receive help by setting up a sharing session without leaving their desk.
Additional use cases such as being able to access your own computer remotely will be implemented in future versions.
Chrome Remote Desktop BETA is fully cross-platform, so you can connect any two computers that have a Chrome browser, including Windows, Linux, Mac and Chromebooks.
