Troubleshooting remote sessions
Unable to connect to a remote session
In certain cases, the end user may not be able to connect to the remote session. The reason for this is generally the following:
- The end user has network connection issues
- The agent closes the session before the end user can join
In either of these cases, the agent can generate a new session link and send that to the end user.
