# Deel uw desktop

You can let other people view and control your desktop from another computer with a desktop viewing application. Configure Remote Desktop to allow others to access your desktop and set the security preferences.

You must have the GNOME Remote Desktop package installed for Remote Desktop to be visible.

Install GNOME Remote Desktop

Open the Activities overview and start typing System.

Select Settings System from the results. This will open the System panel.

Select Remote Desktop to open the panel.

To let others view your desktop, set the Remote Desktop switch to on. This means that other people will be able to attempt to connect to your computer and view what’s on your screen.

To let others interact with your desktop, set the Remote Control switch to on. This may allow the other person to move your mouse, run applications, and browse files on your computer, depending on the security settings which you are currently using.

# Verbinden

The How to Connect section displays the Device Name and Remote Desktop Address that can be used on the connecting computer. Click the button next to each entry if you want to place it in the clipboard. A connection can also be made using your IP address.

When the other computer is successfully connected to your desktop, you will see the Screen is being shared icon, in your system status area.

If the text set as Device Name allows you to edit it, you can change the name your computer displays on the network.

# Beveiliging

The Authentication section displays the login credentials to be used in the client software on the connecting device.

## Gebruikersnaam

Gebruik de voorgestelde waarde of voer uw eigen waarde in.

## Wachtwoord

Gebruik de voorgestelde waarde of voer uw eigen waarde in.

Click the button next to each entry if you want to place it in the clipboard.

## Versleuteling verifiëren

Click the Verify Encryption button to display the encryption fingerprint. Compare it with the value displayed by the client when connecting: they should be identical.

# Cliënten

To connect to your desktop from another computer, the following clients are known to work.

## Vanuit GNU/Linux:

Remmina, a GTK client, is available as a package in most distributions, and also as a flatpak. Use default settings, particularly Color depth 'Automatic' in the connection profile settings.

xfreerdp is a command line client available as a package in most distributions. The option /network:auto should be passed to the client on the command line.

## Vanuit Microsoft Windows:

mstsc is de ingebouwde cliënt voor Windows. Standaardinstellingen worden aanbevolen.

## Vanuit GNU/Linux, Windows of macOS:

Thincast is een propriëtaire cliënt. De Linux-versie is beschikbaar als flatpak. Standaardinstellingen worden aanbevolen.

# Uw bureaublad niet meer delen

To disconnect someone who is viewing your desktop:

## Opdrachtregelconfiguratie

The grdctl utility allows you to configure your host settings in a console window. For usage details, type grdctl --help.

## H.264

H.264 video encoding heavily reduces bandwidth. GNOME Remote Desktop will use H.264 when: the graphics pipeline is used (a requirement of the protocol), the client supports it, and NVENC (NVIDIA's encoder) is available.
