How to Control a Laptop Remotely Using Google Chrome
Controlling a laptop remotely is a solution for someone who wants to help others even though they are hampered by distance, space and time.
By controlling the laptop remotely, we can adjust laptop settings or fix software problems or damage on other people's laptops without touching it.
Conditions for Remotely Controlling a Laptop
There are several conditions needed for the control process to run smoothly, including:
- Stable Network
The remote control process does not use cables, but uses the internet network. So for the process to run smoothly and seamlessly, a strong and stable network is needed so that it doesn't break or lag.
- Software / Applications / Links
To control something remotely, we must have software or applications or connecting links that are synchronized. The function of this application is to obtain access approval from users.
- Qualified Laptop Specifications
A stable network is not enough to avoid crashes and long loading times. We also need a laptop that has good specifications with fast performance so that everything runs smoothly and doesn't take a long time.
Remote Laptop Control Software
There is a lot of PC / Laptop driver software from remote locations, but an application that is easy to use is the Google Chrome browser.
Why? The reason is because almost all laptops that we buy in computer stores already have the Google Chrome application installed.
So we don't need to install new applications anymore which actually burden the memory and RAM capacity on the laptop which can have an impact on reducing the laptop's performance.
