There are certain options for going from PC to Mac, such as setting up a VNC (virtual network computing) connection on your Mac, and then running a VNC client on your PC.īut Chrome Remote Desktop can connect you, no matter what computers reside on both ends. It also offers a Mac version of the software, but it only lets you connect to a PC from your Mac - not the other way around.
Microsoft includes its Remote Desktop Connection in Windows. Of course, remote desktop software is nothing new. From there, you can control the other computer using your mouse and keyboard. Released as a beta early last month, the Chrome Remote Desktop extension lets you connect to one computer from another directly through the browser.
