How To Connect To Another Computer Using Anydesk

To get started, open AnyDesk. The number you see on the left is your personal ID. People can use this number to access your device, and you need this number of the person you want to connect with. Type the remote device ID in the search bar on the right. Don’t forget: Never give access to your device to anyone you don’t know and beware of online scammers!

What if you are at home, but want to have unattended access to your work PC at the office, where there is no one to accept the session request? Take a look at your security settings – there you can set up a password and two-factor authentication for unattended access. That way, the session doesn’t need to be manually accepted by the remote side.

What is AnyDesk?

AnyDesk is designed as a lightweight home office and remote support tool suitable for large or small businesses. It is intended to be useful for software vendors or application developers who are looking for a way to resolve customer or client issues remotely. It also allows users to connect from home to their office computers using the Unattended Access feature. Users get features like file transfer, remote printing, and session recording.

AnyDesk is designed for high performance and security. In terms of performance, AnyDesk users can expect frame rates of 60fps for most Internet connections, though the software is designed for low latency even at low bandwidth. AnyDesk also claims that its DeskRT codec feature, which compresses and transfers images, is unique among its competitors. For security, AnyDesk uses TLS 1.2 technology and RSA 2048 asymmetric key exchange encryption, and can whitelist trusted users.
