Chrome Remote Desktop is an extension of the Google Chrome browser that allows a user
to remotely see and control another user's remote desktop
through the browser window.
Google Chrome and the extension must be installed on the remote computer as well as the
controlling computer, and a user must be present at the remote computer to enter an access code
provided by the controlling computer.
Google released the first version of Chrome Remote Desktop as a free public beta in October 2011.
They described the release as a demonstration of their current technology, for the purpose of
gathering feedback from users in preparation for more possible features.
