How Do You Give Someone Remote Access to Your Computer on Zoom?

Published in Technology 2 mins read

You cannot directly give someone remote access to your computer using Zoom. Zoom is primarily a video conferencing platform, not a remote access tool.

To grant remote access to your computer, you need to use a dedicated remote access application like:

  • TeamViewer: A popular and user-friendly remote access tool.
  • AnyDesk: Another popular option known for its speed and security features.
  • Chrome Remote Desktop: A free and easy-to-use option integrated with Google Chrome.

These applications allow you to share your screen, control your computer remotely, and transfer files securely.

Here's how to use TeamViewer for remote access:

  1. Download and install TeamViewer on both your computer and the recipient's computer.
  2. Start TeamViewer on both computers.
  3. Share your TeamViewer ID and password with the recipient.
  4. The recipient enters your TeamViewer ID and password into their TeamViewer application.
  5. Grant access to the recipient by accepting their request.

Note: Always be cautious when granting remote access to your computer. Ensure you trust the person you're granting access to and use a strong password for your TeamViewer account.
