remote support

Help from afar

Remote support is technical assistance provided to a computer or device without the technician being physically present.

Using software that allows screen sharing or direct control, a support person can diagnose problems, install updates, or configure settings from anywhere with an internet connection: The IT department fixed my laptop through remote support while I was working from home.
