Initiating a Remote Control Session by Launching a Third-Party Remote Control Tool

  • Last updated on

Service Center can be configured to launch one additional third-party remote control tool. This additional option appears either as the application name, or as "Other" in the Remote Service list, and in the Remote Control shortcut menu. This additional option is added to Service Center in System Settings. For more information, see Configuring the "Other" Remote Control Application.

The following procedures provide steps for launching third-party tools that have been tested for integration with Barracuda RMM. However any third-party tool that launches the application on the technician's computer, or as a URL on the client or technician computer can be integrated with Barracuda RMM.
