[Chrome Web App] Chrome Remote Desktop leaves beta tag and gets new Features

1

Yes, I know this isn’t exactly 100% Android related, but it is still fairly relevant. Google has removed the Beta tag that has been attached to their Remote Desktop app in the Chrome Store.  The service allows you to remotely connect to one PC from another. This is particularly helpful for helping your mom fix something without actually having to go to her house. That is a win right there for me. That isn’t all it is good for though. The recent update offers up a little more functionality that could make this a perfect match for those of you that currently have a Chromebook, or plan to order one shortly.

“From adjusting printer settings on your mom’s computer to finding a lost file on your dad’s laptop, Chrome Remote Desktop has made you the family hero by helping you remotely access other computers — including your own — via Chrome,” Google said.

Chrome Remote Desktop is fully cross-platform. Provide remote assistance to Windows, Mac and Linux users, or access your Windows (Vista and above) and Mac (OS X 10.6 and above) desktops at any time, all from the Chrome browser on virtually any device, including Chromebooks.

Some new features that were recently added in the update about a week ago includes real time audio feed on Windows and copy / paste to and from the local machine and remote machine. That’s a pretty handy little feature right there.

Of course there are plenty of other services and applications that do this as well, and in some cases, probably better. Who knows, this little free Chome app might be all you really need. Hit up the link below to head straight to the Chrome Web Store for more details and to install it your self. It is directly from Google and not some third-party.

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.
