How to start a remote support session

  1. 1

    Create an account

    Sign up for a 247connect account. The 14-day trial includes 2 on-demand licences and 10 managed devices, with no credit card required.

  2. 2

    Choose managed or on-demand

    Install the Managed Agent on devices you support regularly, or use an on-demand licence to send a one-time agent for ad-hoc support.

  3. 3

    Deploy the agent

    For managed devices, install the small agent once — 25 MB on Windows, 200 MB on macOS. For on-demand support, send the end user a download link at the start of the session.

  4. 4

    Authenticate as an operator

    Sign in to the console with your named operator account and two-factor authentication.

  5. 5

    Start the session

    Select the device and connect. A typical encrypted session is established in around eight seconds.

  6. 6

    Work with in-session tools

    Transfer files by drag and drop, chat with the user, open PowerShell or Task Manager, review hardware inventory, and reboot with automatic reconnect if needed.
