Start unattended support sessions

Unattended support sessions are those in which agents access a customer's computer while they are not present at it (i.e., the customer's computer is "unattended").

Note: Access to the unattended support feature and tools (including those described here) is dependent upon your user group settings or individual user settings, which are set by your administrator.

Click Unattended Support in the toolbar and select View Unattended Computers.
