Cannot Access Two Hosts. Other hosts connect without problems.

Hello Gee,

Thank you for your message.

Have you already tried enabling the Use legacy capture mode option for your Hosts? This usually helps to resolve similar issues.
If this does not work, you can also try plugging the HDMI cables out of at least one of the Hosts and if it works this way.

Let us know if this helps.

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we do not support Agent or Host for Android devices yet. We do currently provide beta version of Agent for Linux/Mac. We hope to be able to release the mobile version of Host and Agent in the near future. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[Resolved] RU host does not work after update to windows 11 24H2

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your patience.

This is to inform you that we’ve tested the scenario out on two different Windows 11 machines and, unfortunately, were unable to reproduce the issue.
In the meantime, perhaps you could consider rolling the update one version back since Windows 11 does support this feature. Sorry for any inconvenience.

How to suppress Disclaimer on Agent

Hello Rolf,  

Thank you for your patience.

I’d like to clarify a few things and apologize for any confusion caused by my earlier reply. Unfortunately, even when using a self-hosted RU Server, it would not prevent scammers from illegitimately accessing Agent. For this reason, the disclaimer window remains a necessary security measure, regardless of the Server configuration.  

Additionally, the disclaimer is only displayed the very first time the Agent runs on a computer. Once it has been acknowledged, it will not appear again during subsequent uses.  

This measure is consistent with practices across all major remote control software platforms. Without such a warning window, there’s a significantly higher likelihood of antivirus software flagging and removing the Agent as a potential threat.  
I hope this explanation provides more clarity.

Thank you for understanding, and please let us know if there’s anything else we can assist you with.

How to suppress Disclaimer on Agent

Hello Rolf,

Thank you for your message.

This notification window was added as a security measure to notify the user that an Agent is running on their computer. The only way it can be disabled is by turning off the Disable Internet-ID and callback connections feature located in the Agent Settings -> Other Settings which restricts Agent/Host to accepting direct connection only.

Let us know if you have any questions.
