There are TWO ways to remote control:

1. A person who is sharing their screen allows another attendee to use their screen (PC).

“Remote Control” »» Select person under “Give Mouse /Keyboard Control to:”

2. An attendee can request remote control from the person who is sharing their screen.

“View options” »» “Request Remote Control”.

Giving Back Control

After granted access, the person remote-controlling can give control back to the owner of the screen (PC).

“View options” »» “Give up Remote Control“.

Note:
• When remote access is given, the person has full control of your PC.
• The person whose computer you are requesting control from will always receive a pop up notification to accept or reject.
• Check the settings of your Zoom account online
