Remotely viewing and controlling devices

You can use SMART Remote Management to start a remote view or control session with a device. You can see and interact with a device’s screen as if you were in the room with the device. A remote view or control session is particularly useful when you need to help a user troubleshoot an issue with a device.

Whether you can remotely control a device or only view its screen depends on the following:

• The type of device

  SMART Board interactive displays with iQ	View and control
  SMART Board GX series interactive displays and Android devices	View and control
  Windows devices	View and control
  Chrome OS devices	View only

• Whether you have permission to view or control devices remotely
