Hi CybTech ,
Welcome to the Community. I tried remote control access today and wasn't able to replicate your experience.
What device are you using and what device were you attempting to control? One thing I noticed using a Mac as an attendee I could grant the organizer permission to remote control, but nothing would happen unless I updated permissions under Settings - Privacy & Security - Accessibility - Allow the application below to control your Computer.
Hi,
An update:
- We called and spoke to support. They said that as of Jan, Professional accounts were no longer able to remotely control things and we needed a Business account.
- I use the remote control tools every day and it has not been a problem until yesterday, but we upgraded to the Business account anyway.
- After upgrading, I tried remotely controlling a user that earlier in the day had failed. When I tried it after switching to Business, it worked properly.
Problem solved, right?
Not so fast. Because 15 min ago I tried doing it with someone else and it once again would not work at all.
I am on a Windows 11 computer and all clients that are attempting to be controlled are either Win 10 or Win 11. The problem appears to be intermittent.CybTech Thanks for update. Can you share the Meeting ID with the support agent and ask if they can review what may have happened?
It's strange that you were able to intermittently control Meetings previously on an account that didn't have access to Keyboard and Mouse Sharing and I'm wondering if there needs to be an update.
