System Requirements – Client Device

    The computer, phone, or tablet you use to remotely access a host computer must meet certain technical requirements.

    Important: Make sure you are using up to date, officially supported third-party technology together with the host software. The host software is designed for use with third-party products and services (browser, OS, etc.) that are officially supported by their respective vendors and well-maintained by the end user (latest patches and updates installed).

    Phone or Tablet

    Install the client on any iOS or Android device that meets the requirements shown in the current AppStore or GooglePlay listing.

    Internet Connection

    Remote control performance depends on several factors, such as screen resolution, color depth, type of activity, available bandwidth and latency.

    • For connecting and doing non-remote control work, any always-on internet connection is sufficient.
    • For optimal remote control experience, we recommend a 10 Mbit/s or higher connection speed on each end, as per FCC guidelines for video streaming.
