Hi, I am trying to help my friend who lives in Denver with their desktop. I live in LA. I see his desktop on my mine using quick assist, but I cannot click on anything on his desktop. Is there something I am missing?

    Hi @iqworks Information Quality Works ,

    did you request full control in Quick Assist? Your friend got the request for full control and selected allow?

    Hello,

    Quick Assist is an official tool, even MS is using it to help customers.

    First you may have an option when you try to remote it to someone's PC.

    1. Choose help others
    2. You will have a code, send it to your users.
    3. After your user type in it, you will have two options.
    4. Choose "Take control", another option is just viewing.

    I hope this helps!

    Kind Regards,
    Karlie Weng
