Chrome Remote Desktop Dmg Viewer
Once you have Chrome installed, you need to install Chrome Remote Desktop. Click the Add To Chrome button at the very top right. A popup will appear with the permissions the app needs in order to work properly. Click Add App to continue if you’re OK with the permissions. Click on the 'Chrome-debug.dmg' file. Click 'Download' on the next screen. Open the.dmg file you just downloaded, e.g. By double-clicking. Drag the 'Chrome-debug' icon anywhere you want it (desktop, Applications folder, etc.) Drag it to the dock, if you want.

Install the App
- Press
Command+Space
and type Terminal and press enter/return key. - Run in Terminal app:
ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)' 2> /dev/null
and press enter/return key. If you are prompted to enter your Mac's user password, enter it (when you type it, you wont see it on your screen/terminal.app but it would accept the input; this is to ensure no one can see your password on your screen while you type it. So just type password and press enter, even if you dont see it on your screen). Then wait for the command to finish. - Run:
brew install chrome-remote-desktop-host
Done! You can now use Chrome Remote Desktop.
Chrome Remote desktop is a very useful tool for providing help to a student or staff member when you cannot look at their computer directly in person. It allows you to view and control their screen, with their permission, to help them navigate instructions or troubleshoot a problem.
Before you can help someone else through Chrome Remote Desktop, they will first need to install it.
