JumpCloud Remote Assist is a cloud-based remote screen access and control solution from JumpCloud for IT teams. As an IT Admin with Manager role permissions or higher, you can remotely view and control the end user\u2019s device for troubleshooting, maintenance or training purposes, as well as grant Remote Assist access to Help Desk Admins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remote Assist is automatically installed, deployed, and updated alongside the JumpCloud agent. To use this new feature, end users just need to install the JumpCloud agent and open the Remote Assist application. After you install the JumpCloud agent, the Remote Assist software is normally installed within 20 minutes. Longer install times due to resource conflicts can take up to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admins can launch a remote session from the JumpCloud Admin Portal, and there are 3 different Remote Assist connection types to choose from: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ctrl+alt+del<\/code> shortcut<\/strong>: Admins can send the ctrl+alt+del<\/strong> command from the Session Options toolbar to facilitate key system interactions such as securely logging in, locking the system, and accessing advanced administrative tasks for efficient troubleshooting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nLimitations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- There is an issue with MacOS VMs created using VMWare Fusion that prevents Remote Assist from functioning properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To establish a Remote Assist session, the end-user must grant permissions for microphone and camera access for the Safari browser only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Remote Assist only supports the English (Qwerty) keyboard for input. Other language keyboards may not work correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The Remote Assist Agent does not currently support video streaming from HDR-enabled displays. To effectively use the Remote Assist service, disable HDR video streaming on your device. Remote Assist has HDR disabled by default. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Remote Assist does not support Windows User Access Control (UAC) during Live Assist sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- While using multiple monitors during a Remote Assist session, some functions (like mouse control, drag and drop, Request Control<\/strong>, and others) might not work as expected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
