The Viewer window is the main application window of the GoToAssist Remote Support software. It features a persistent toolbar along the top of the application window that allows agents to use all the available session tools.

Agents can use the Viewer toolbar at the top of the window to do the following:

• Start new sessions, or join existing sessions with other technicians (i.e., session collaboration), up to 8 sessions at a time
• Set up new unattended access on a customer's computer, and connect to all of your existing unattended support computers.
• Manage screen sharing to view and control the customers screen, share your own screen with the customer, and use other screen sharing tools such as zoom and screen blanking (Windows customers only).
• Send the "Ctrl-Alt-Del" keyboard command to the customer's computer while in a support session.
• Send files to the customer and retrieve files from their computer.
• Retrieve system diagnostics about the customer's computer, then save and/or send the report.
• Chat with the customer.
• Create and save notes during the support session.
• Link the support session with an existing Service Desk incident, or create a new one.
• Access additional tools, including Drawing Tools, Reboot and Preferences.
