Eric, you are a lifesaver! The last few months I have spent many nights awake all night trying to learn how to do this and researching and crying! FINALLY I have found your video here! I'm trying this out tonight! Thank you so much! I just hope I have free access to google meet and not just hangouts or that this will also work in hangouts. My school is paying for nothing and is providing nothing!
I want to watch more of your videos, just because you explain things slowly (but not too slowly) and thoroughly. Lately, I've been watching videos where people just zip through the steps and you can't even see what icon they clicked! I tutor kids 5 to 8 years old and for part of the lesson, they need to be able to control the screen. So this is very helpful!
Wow.. I am speechless!! Why have I not googled this sooner to find out how to really do this??!! I teach third and fourth grade special ed, and I cannot tell you how many times per day I say to myself and my para, "I wish there was a way that I could control their screen to show them x,y,z,!" I don't know if my district would even allow this so I have to look into it, but thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Love your videos!!
Why don't google develop meet to behave like zoom or microsoft teams? group sharing, one control screen sharing while others watch the screen. Single app should takes care of call, chat and desktop sharing among participants. Unlike what you do now to make like difficult and confusing!!
This video is so helpful, but I'm having a problem with the audio echoing. Also, my students on iPads and phones are having problems with it. Do they have to download an app? Thanks!
Chrome remote desktop is for accessing your own computer! It is a MAJOR security risk to use it to give students, or anyone else out side of an IT professional, access to your computer.
Great explanation! The only problem is to have to share the link again and again because of all the people writing on the chat. It's good to have the link in another document to copy and paste in the group chat whenever is needed.
Hi Eric! I'm trying to share remote access with a patient in teletherapy, but when I select "entire screen" it shows all three of my screens at once and is overwhelming for the patient. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Great videos! Is there an easy way to use Google Meet to control the mouse of a student's computer that might be having trouble navigating their computer?
Hello, do you know if this method can works for an international connexion ? I tried with someone who's in Japan and someone else in USA and doesn't connect to them... I'm in Egypt so maybe doesn't work anywhere in the world?... I don't find any information about that until now. Thank you
Eric, have you ever experienced where Google Meet will allow you to share a tab, but instead it shares the entire screen (or multiple if you have multiple monitors?)
Hey! I sent you an email. I tested this with multiple people. The audio feedback was awful. I also tried using a headset with a microphone, and it was still pretty bad on both ends. I am a teacher, so I am trying to make this work for distance learning. Do you have any advice? My students don't have access to headsets (not sure if that would help).
I want to use this for tele-therapy but with applications that are only available on my iPad or IOS device. Do you have any idea how I can give the same remote control when I am using as a teacher using my iPad?
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I've been looking for. What would happen in a small group teaching situation? Would all the students have remote control?
The students would have remote control of other computers or Chromebooks only if someone had given them the one-time access code. Even with the access code, a user on the computer being controlled will still need to grant them access when they attempt to connect. The downside to this is that students will be able to control another student's Chromebook if given both the access code and granted permission. The upside is that student's won't be able to, as an example, remote into a home computer to bypass a school's webfilter because someone will still need to be at the computer at home (that will be controlled) to grant access when the control request comes in.
@@TonyBevers-SOCSDIT So if I have a small group for speech therapy the children can essentially take turns at clicking on a "gameboard" on my screen?? Thank you so much for your help in advance!
Wow! You make great videos, really. Is there an option or an app to disable video-camera for all students? I mean temporairly NOT giving them the option to turn on video so nobody can see their faces and whatnot. Again, awesome video, Thanks!
OK I have a question. I plan on using this for the aid that comes into my room. It is hard for me to mute students sometime so this will be great if she has the ability to mute or remove students. But, will I still have any functions such as sharing my screen?
Is there any way to still be able to observe the student on meet while they are controlling your computer? Thinking of using this to proctor an assessment online and would like to observe the student's reaction and strategies as they work through the problems.
Thanks. Your videos are great. Can a student with an ipad use the remote control? I did a test on mine and I couldn't get anything. Is there another trick to do on the ipad? Most of our students are operating off of an ipad. I want to do things outside of Jamboard. Thank you.
in this video, you state that both parties do not need to have the extension on their computer, however, when I use the 1 click method to share in the chat, it is asking my students to install the extension. . . am I doing something wrong or do both parties have to have the extension installed on their computer?
Hey Eric, awesome video! I'm wondering now however if there are any different steps as their support page has changed. Thanks in advanced and killer beard my man!
Chrome Remote Desktop required me to install chromeremotedesktop.msi on my Windows computer. It worked but why was it different for you--are you using a Chromebook? In a Windows environment, admins will need to deploy that software to all teacher clients.
that is not true. the student needs to install remote access a on playstore only if they are using their phones. if it is their computer, its just another tab on their screen which dosent need any extentions
Eric, it is as if you heard my prayers!!! Thank you so much for doing this! Maybe I missed it, but does the student have to add the extension for me to take over their computer?
Yes, they need to have the extension installed. In our school district, we've deployed the extension to all student machines so staff are able to remotely connect to student machines, or vice versa. If students don't have it installed, they'll be prompted to install it upon the first attempt to use it. Many school districts block the ability for students to install their own chrome extensions. If your district does not block students from installing their own extensions, they'll be able to install it. If your district does block students from installing their own Chrome extensions, your district's IT dept will need to deploy it to student Chromebooks before it can be used.
@@TonyBevers-SOCSDIT First off, thank you so much! This was super helpful! This may be a silly question/shows how little I understand about all of this lol - if they're using their own laptops/chromebooks, but their student account, might they still be able to install it and utilize it? Or using their student account in the Meet would not allow it?
Actually you still have full control of your computer even when you have given remote access to someone else. You can still move the mouse and type as normal. The only difference is that the other person can do so as well. Also, you can click "Stop Sharing" at any time to end the remote session.
Lol, if a teacher had given me control over his/her computer when I was in school, I would not have been able to resist making some friendly mischief. (They'd obviously be able to get control back quickly, so it'd have to be planned out and quick!)
PLEASE HEAR ME OUT. AND PLEASE HELP ME. WHEN i GIVE REMOTE ACCESS TO SOME STUDENT, THAT STUDENT GETS TO BASICALLY CONTROL BOTH OF MY SCREENS. AND LIKE HOW YOU SAID, ONLY THE STUDENT CAN DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO SEE ONLY ONE SCREEN INSTEAD OF TWO. SOME OF THE STUDENTS ARE MISCHEIVOUS, AND THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION, AND OPEN CMD ON MY COMPUTER AND DELETE SOME FILES, AND SOMETIMES THEY END MY MEETING SESSION. HOW DO I GIVE ACCESS TO ONLY ONE MONITOR OR ONE SCREEN OR ONE TAB ON GOOGLE MEET???
If you give screen control to only one student, the rest of the students will still be able to see the screen and what the other student is doing with it, right?
Yes, giving remote control will not change what the other students are able to see. If you are presenting your screen, they will still see your screen, along with whatever the student is doing who has the remote control.
Great video but what’s with google not providing this feature without adding an extension? I don’t trust these extensions; neither does my employer. Google sells these products to enterprises and yet features are not designed for enterprise use. It’s like they took free stuff and shoved it down company’s’ throat. This is one among many issues with google chat, google hangout and other products.
When you are in a Google Meet session that is using both audio and video, then add a Chrome Remote Desktop session to the mix, it will consume a large amount of bandwidth (will use a lot of your Internet connection). This is likely why you are seeing the issues you're seeing. The two work extremely well together if both sides have a solid, fast Internet connection. In rural areas where the wired Internet connections may not be that fast, or where one or more of the participants may be using a satellite Internet connection, you will definitely experience latency (delay) issues.
Hi Kathyrn, if the Google account you are signed in with while installing Chrome Remote Desktop is part of an organization (like a school), then you may need to contact the person who can 'allow' that extension to be installed.
Eric, you are a lifesaver! The last few months I have spent many nights awake all night trying to learn how to do this and researching and crying! FINALLY I have found your video here! I'm trying this out tonight! Thank you so much! I just hope I have free access to google meet and not just hangouts or that this will also work in hangouts.

Chrome remote desktop is for accessing your own computer! It is a MAJOR security risk to use it to give students, or anyone else out side of an IT professional, access to your computer.
Thank you for the tips. I teach first grade and I will try the simplified step you taught in this video.
Many thanks for explaining the entire process so lucidly. Kudos!
This was an incredibly helpful video that was VERY USER FRIENDLY!!! Thank you so much for this life saver!
Thanks a lot Eric for sharing those details
This is truly wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Eric! Greetings from the Philippines! ^_^
So glad it was helpful!
Great explanation!
The only problem is to have to share the link again and again because of all the people writing on the chat. It's good to have the link in another document to copy and paste in the group chat whenever is needed.
You're so talented 🤣🤣, I wish you were my teacher
do both parties need to be using google chrome (or is it just the person giving control over their desktop) ?
Hi Eric! I'm trying to share remote access with a patient in teletherapy, but when I select "entire screen" it shows all three of my screens at once and is overwhelming for the patient. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Really looking forward to this option these days. Your video is a great help. Thanks from Pakistan Certified Trainer.
Great videos! Is there an easy way to use Google Meet to control the mouse of a student's computer that might be having trouble navigating their computer?
I've heard that you can have the student right-click on there remote desktop tab on their computer and mute that tab.
Bless you!!! This was so thorough and helpful!!! So glad I watched to the very end for the special tip!
Hello, do you know if this method can works for an international connexion ? I tried with someone who's in Japan and someone else in USA and doesn't connect to them... I'm in Egypt so maybe doesn't work anywhere in the world?... I don't find any information about that until now. Thank you
Does this work with iPad Pro? will I able to click remote control and my students will be able to control my ipad?
Eric, have you ever experienced where Google Meet will allow you to share a tab, but instead it shares the entire screen (or multiple if you have multiple monitors?)
Thank you soooooooooo much you're the best! Greetings from Lima Perú
Eric,
Will this work with an iPad? I tried to give a student access to my computer that was on an iPad and it did not work.

I am a teacher, so I am trying to make this work for distance learning. Do you have any advice? My students don't have access to headsets (not sure if that would help).
Thank you so much! So clear and simple which is really hard to find. Thank you!
Can multiple students have remote access at the same time from the same code?
GOOD QUESTION!
Thanks for the useful content sir. It's really helpful to me.
I am so glad that was helpful!
Thank you, very helpful video, some of my students get an error message when I tried this though, any thoughts as to why?
I want to use this for tele-therapy but with applications that are only available on my iPad or IOS device. Do you have any idea how I can give the same remote control when I am using as a teacher using my iPad?
very helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Hi, this is great and works well on a chrome book or laptop , but it doesn't seem to work on an iPad...can this be possible?
Thank you so much! The other will be a nightmare even with grown-ups 🤣 imagine with children. Thanks!
Uau, your explanation was awesome and very useful. Thank you. Do you know if have the same to control mobiles?
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I've been looking for. What would happen in a small group teaching situation? Would all the students have remote control?

Big thank, Eric! It's going to help a lot

How do you make your videos? Do you use Camtasia? I really like the you Zoom in to a particular part of the screen.
Hi Eric. Is there a method to add text to the link that limits the share to a single monitor when using dual (or more) monitors?
Many of my students are using tablets or iPads. Will this work on those devices?
yes. they just need to install a little google extention of remote access.
This is awesome. Thanks so much Eric Curts!!!!!
can this use while we open the google meet?

Thank you so much just made my day
This is great but unfortunately my student told me that her screen said “blocked.” Do the students need to have the chrome extension too?

Can more than 1 student have access to your screen? For example I see kids in group of 3. Can they all have control so they can play a game?
Super helpful--thank you!
thank you for sharing this video.. thumbs up!
How about Android phone to phone control sharing
Thank you great video, huge help

Do I have to do this during every meeting?

it ask privacy policy
yes
It's also important to mention that it's quite risky to give people remote access.
It seems NG for android devices to take the control ..sad..
ur face like tom hank
insanely complicated. a complete joke.
Hi, how about if you are working with more than one student? Are they both able to move the mouse on the same screen?
