How do I use Remote Control?

    Presenters can give multiple attendees shared control of their keyboard and mouse. This allows others to move the mouse around their screen and use their keyboard for added collaboration.

    The presenter's mouse always has priority – they can override attendees' mouse movements to temporarily regain control without removing Remote Control access.
    Note: In order to give remote control you have to be on the desktop app and actively sharing your screen. To receive remote control access you have to be on either the desktop app or web. View How do I download GoTo Training?.
