Keyboard Shortcuts on the Remote Machine
To compensate for the lack of support for certain shortcuts, Assist provides a list of shortcuts to send to the remote machine from the "Actions" menu during a remote support session.
Here is the menu in question, with the shortcuts listed:
Blocking Remote Control Commands
To block a user's commands, use the button provided in the Assist action bar.
Press the icon again, or close the session (via the "X" in the top left) to unblock the user's commands.
The blocked user can use the "CTRL + ALT + DEL" shortcut to end the blockage.
Multi-Screens
You can display additional screens of a user in new tabs of your browser by clicking on "new tab"
Adjusting Image Quality
During remote support, it is possible to adjust the image quality by clicking on "settings" in the menu.
By default, the settings are positioned on 1080 HD /16-bit resolution.
To maximize your experience when using Assist, we recommend adopting one of the following configurations based on your computer hardware:
- low quality (480p @ 8 bit): 10 KB/s in download and 200 KB/s in upload per displayed screen
- standard (1080p @ 16 bit): 10 KB/s in download and 1 MB/s in upload per displayed screen
- high quality (4K @ 32 bit): 10 KB/s in download and 10 MB/s in upload per displayed screen
The faster your connection (ping<50ms), the higher the resolution and quality. To maintain a continuous flow, you can lower the resolution and color level.
