Is it possible to control a remote machine using Teams If I remember correctly you can use Skype for Business or Skype for that matter and ask for control of a remote computer. Since Teams is slowly acquiring the Skype for Business software, can anyone tell me if Teams is able to control a remote computer, and if not, is it a future addition? Setting up a remote desktop allows you to access your computer wherever you are and control it as if you were directly in front of the keyboard. By using the built-in Remote Desktop Connection app in Windows 10, you can troubleshoot issues, access files, and so much more. Since the debut of RemoteApp in Windows Server 2008, Windows users have been able to enjoy remote applications with the same look and feel as local applications. RemoteApp and Desktop Connections is a new feature in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 that builds on this by bringing RemoteApp programs to the Start menu, giving them the same.

Enable keyboard translation

By default, Configuration Manager transmits the key position from the viewer's location to the sharer's location. This can present a problem for keyboard configurations that differ from viewer to sharer. For example, a viewer with an English keyboard would type an 'A', but the sharer's French keyboard would provide a 'Q'. You now have the option of configuring remote control so that the character itself is transmitted from the viewer's keyboard to the sharer, and what the viewer intends to type arrives at the sharer.
