Google taking Chrome Remote Desktop service out of beta
The Chrome Remote Desktop screen sharing service, the beta version of which was announced by Google nearly a year back, is apparently ready for primetime; with Google recently revealing that the service will soon be taken out of beta.
Fairly akin to LogMeIn, Splashtop, and other screen sharing services, the Chrome Remote Desktop - which will apparently be exclusive to Google's Chrome browser; and to the Chrome OS by extension - will essentially allow the users to gain remote access to other computers.
With the Chrome Remote Desktop screen sharing service chiefly enabling the users to share their desktop with others and also to control the desktops of others for viewing presentations, Google's pitch for the service is that users can become the family hero by "adjusting printer settings on (your) mom's computer to finding a lost file on (your) dad's laptop."
Taking the service out of beta, Google has revealed that the Chrome Remote Desktop now boasts the addition of some new features, including the ability for the Windows users to share a real-time audio feed via the service; as well as the `copy' and `paste' advantage between the users' computers and the ones that they remotely control.
Noting that the work on the Chrome Remote Desktop service will continue in the future, Google said that it aims at making the service "even more powerful" in the coming years.
