Thanks! I'm 54 years old and I love technology! What's better is young smart people like you show me how to maximize it! You saved me at least 1400 bucks. I was getting ready to buy a new laptop! Thanks again!
Super helpful! Doing rather lengthy 3D renders and it’d be nice to check on them from work to make sure there’s no errors and my 20 hour render doesn’t turn into a 40 hour render.
Thank you I was really torn between buying a whole new super expensive laptop when I have a built pc at home. Found this video right on time too. Thank you
Dude this is so cool. I was trying to figure out a way to use my golf simulator in the garage without having to get a laptop or something else and this is SOOOO clutch. Thank you so much.
I'm starting my second year with all virtual classes, in the end of last year I bought my desktop, before I was using a 14 years old dell, core duo, 2gb of RAM and no graphics... you can imagine the struggle... in a hope of some day getting back to uni in person this tip will completely save my life, although I may as well try it with my phone that is much more powerful than that old laptop in my drawer
Gonna try this so I can watch all my spectrum channels when I’m traveling for work! Since I’m not on my home network it limits the channels I watch so I’m hoping this is a work around that! I will update this when I get home and try 🙌🏻
I actually randomly thought of this; having a main, hefty setup at home while using a regular laptop like a "portal" to that. Glad to see it actually works.
This is also handy for live concert mixing, I can have my laptop in the crowd and listen to what the crowd hears, while my desktop with all it's ADAT racks and Cubase with all my low-latency pluggins is mixing the band - no long fiber optic cables, no 100 foot XLR runs. Just a laptop in the crowd.
this might be the tipping point where i finally build my new gaming PC. I need power and portability but hate spending soo much on a laptop for ultimately a worse power-to-price ratio.
thank youuuuu x10000!!!! I work in an architecture firm and sometimes I work while I’m at school an needed a connection to my work computer, this easily solved my problem ☺️
HEADS UP PEOPLE!!!! Here is the question for the content creator of this channel; Can the controller of the computer listen using the target pc’s microphone in on the controlled pc from another location?
This is awesome, thank you. I needed to control a till system at my work its windows. Since it is a small screen I can do this at home now, super easy. Team viewer is normally the way to go but is great.
Dude u have no idea how much u helped me with this i help out a friend of mine with recording his streams and since i changed jobs that was gonna be hard for me to do but now all i gotta do is open my phone start the recording then end when i need to and i can do it with my phone i appreciate u alot saved me some troubles
This was really awesome. I love my current computer setup but it's in the living room. I want to setup tv's in other parts of the house but I don't want to get more computers to power and control them. Example; laying in bed watching tv or casually surfing the net, I can use my phone to toggle through netflix or hulu, etc, with out reaching for a keyboard and mouse.
i am fairly impressed, a good use case may be to run intensive tasks that require a lot of proccessing power on the remote desktop while running the lighter office tasks on the latop and having a secondary external portable monitor
First click on searching this topic was your video. I was looking for options but I didn't realize Google had an app. From what I'm reading you can also use a Chromebook. Thanks for posting this!
I'm gonna try this amazing sh*t now. You are so amazing, bruh. I've been struggling to find one like this because my other device doesn't have a MiraCast support. I just subbed!
Thank you so much, this works so much better than windows remote desktop! i was doing on thin client machines, but doesnt really seem to be an good options. thinking of buying a cheap refurb laptop to remote into my pc. cheers!
I'm moving to Japan next week, my laptop is actually better than my desktop, but it's nice to be able to access my files on the many drives in my pc while i'm away! :)
But how do u play with ur phone on touchscreen for games meant to be played on desktop with keyboards and mouse? Do u use connect keyboard and mouse to ur phone while playing?
Thank you for this video so I play this game and someone was asking for my computer name and i had a bad feeling about it. Fortunately I was smart enough to not give it to them after doing a bit of research.
This is a feature with Remote Desktop. I've never used it but noticed it in the options. I think it works through a google drive account (with the same google login you're using)
Awesome, thanks man! I built my own rig with components housed in a Corsair 1000D tower and a slightly older RTX 3090 GPU, and full SSD or NVME (none of those garbage HDD that should be relegated to the 1980s). My laptop isn't "bad" and handles gaming well (obviously not anywhere close to my desktop)! Great to know that I can use my laptop for high-end gaming without lag (I put together my home network so am real good with WiFi)
This is dummy proof tutorial for sure. Anyone with basic knowledge can understand. Definitely saved me from hassle of paying for such services to access my computer remotely
Nice explanation there, just one question: Why would you, as a worker, have to supply your own gear? If i start working somewhere and i need a pc/laptop, i am certainly NOT using my own stuff... The "boss" has to supply.
Ive been trying to find a way to boot up my pc ad run steam so i can do remote play out of town. You can get it working as long as your pc is on running steam. Hopefully if i can enable WOL with my pc, i can use this strategy.
WOAH THIS IS AMAZING!! What is if you want to plug in a usb? Would it work if you plug it into the laptop? Or would you have to go home and plug it into the pc directly?
You would have to plug it into the device you want the files on, you can't copy between them. I would often just use Google drive though as the middle man. Plug the USB into the laptop, drop it into Drive and then open it on my PC through my laptop.
I simply wanted to turn on my PC by remote control at home as I did not want to get up out of my chair with my yellow lab sitting on my lap. I also did not want to use a phone or app to turn it on and off so here is how I did it. I added a remote control to my Minisforum mini pc by adding a "remote control power strip". Set the Bios (hit delete button during boot up), change the setting to enable pc to start after power outage. Then simply turn the pc off normally but after pc shuts down power off the power strip. When you turn power strip back on PC boots up automatically. Simple, cheap and effective! Hope this helps everyone.
Great and very simple way. Gonna try it stratight away! Been looking around and struggling with other methods wich wasn't that simple and haven't worked that well yet.So thank you!❤
Please help... I have a grandmother that has memory issues and she's computer illiterate. Her one love in life, entertainment wise, is TH-cam. She can't remember how to use her remote control to get access to it. I need someone to design a system that I can remotely access her smart TV so she can watch her TH-cam non-stop.
Would it not be a security concern? For example I have an always on desktop for home automation and media server. Would this not leave it vulnerable seeing it's over internet? Or would this also work over local network?
There's an easier option and helpful option for a local only way without google. It's called Barrier but that is made for only PC to PC as far as I know. But I'm more looking for to access my other PC with an application to open as a window screen for me to use. Kinda like a VM but physically there.
It depends on the types of games. The better you internet connection on both devices, the smoother the gameplay. I wouldn't recommend it for competitive gaming. It won't heat up the laptop anymore than using other software
Everything. No not really, I'm not specifically sure but as with all google products, you really can't be sure. For now, I haven't had any issues with it. But worth looking into if you're interested
The speed would depend on your internet connection. I wouldn't recommend it for competitive gameplay but it would be perfect for more passive-style games.
Correct. Your laptop is acting as a monitor for your PC, hence using the PC's hardware instead of the laptops. The best way to see it is that the laptop is a screen to control the PC
It will work by following the process in the video. If you can't get someone to access the laptop to install the software it will be difficult unless you've already set up some way of waking the laptop and accessing it
Correct, it does not need to only be influenced by one idea. Your architecture projects will definitely involve a number of different inputs and influences, but having a driving theme or idea will give you clarity when working through the design.
@@kylesinko No thank you. Sharing a very useful piece of information which has helped me massively with a project. I admire your presentation and honest nature
@@kylesinko thanks, in the end its because i wasnt using the right option, I used the second one, that generates a pin at random, that you need to confirm on the desktop, and it lasts like 30 minutes for security reasons, so yeah i used the first option where you create a 6 digit pin for both devices and it works just fine! thanks for the vid.

So do I! It would be so handy. There are other ways to do it however - see "Wake on LAN" or "SwitchBot"

Nice. Took me weeks of searching to find this. I have a beefy PC and home but a crappy surface laptop.

Nice explanation there, just one question: Why would you, as a worker, have to supply your own gear? If i start working somewhere and i need a pc/laptop, i am certainly NOT using my own stuff... The "boss" has to supply.
Being an internship I was only there for a few months. I guess most companies would supply a device.
Do you need an internet connection for this?
If not, will SIM card work?
You will need an internet connection on both devices unfortunately.
