Chrome Remote Desktop is a remote desktop software tool, developed by Google, that allows a user to remotely control another computer's desktop through a proprietary protocol also developed by Google, internally called Chromoting.

[2][3] The protocol transmits the keyboard and mouse events from the client to the server, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction over a computer network.

The browser must support WebRTC and other unspecified "modern web platform features".

[9] A Chromium-based browser that supports Chromium extensions such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge must be used.

[citation needed] Under Windows, it supports copying and pasting across the two devices and real-time audio feed as well but lacks the option to disable sharing and transmission of the audio stream.
