VNC Viewer from RealVNC gives you instant remote access to your Mac, Windows and Linux computers from anywhere in the world. You can view your computer’s desktop, and control its mouse and keyboard as though you were sitting down in front of it.
Just visit Realvnc official website and download VNC Connect to each computer you want to control. Then sign in to VNC Viewer on your device using your ReaIVNC account credentials. You’ll see your computers automatically appear; simply tap to connect.
VNC Connect password protects each computer out-of-the-box. You may need to enter the same user name and password you use to log in to your computer. All sessions are then encrypted end-to-end.
During a session, your device’s touch screen serves as a trackpad to give you precise control. Drag your finger to move the remote mouse cursor and tap anywhere to left-click (other gestures such as right- click and scroll are explained in-app).
