See and control a machine's screen

Watch a desktop or phone live and use its mouse and keyboard from the browser.

Open Fabric

Before you start

  • The machine runs the OcaltQL Client in a desktop session. Headless servers and SSH-only hosts are not listed.

Steps

  1. Click Remote Viewer (Beta) in the side menu.
  2. Choose the machine. Its screen starts streaming.
  3. To use it, turn on Forward keyboard & mouse to remote, click inside the picture, and work as if you were there.
  4. Use the quick keys for shortcuts the browser would otherwise catch: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Task Mgr, Lock, Alt+Tab, Enter and Esc.
  5. Click Open in new window to watch it in a window of its own, which has Screenshot, Reconnect and Close.

Good to know

  • If the picture freezes or says the feed stopped, click Reconnect. If it keeps happening, restart the client on that machine.
