How do I connect a remote-control client?

Follow this workflow to connect a remote-control client.

Before you start

Use a trusted local network and prepare the supported client.

Where to find it

Tools > WebSocket.

Steps

Enable WebSocket server.
Set Server Port.
Keep Require authentication enabled when sharing access.
Set or generate a password.
Choose Save.
Open Show Connection Info.
Enter those details in the intended controller.

Check the result

Check Connected Sessions and test one safe action.

Helpful information

Use only on a trusted local network: traffic is not encrypted. System tray alerts and connection activity logging report connections. Connected Sessions lists clients; Kick disconnects the selected client. Connection Info offers copy controls and a QR code; it can contain sensitive access details.

If something is wrong

Review server state and connection information. Disconnect an unexpected session and protect the displayed access details.
