Ease of access

For ease of access, AnyDesk allows you to save connection shortcuts on the desktop. During a session, control can be switched between sides with a couple of clicks. In fact, you can even record the session to a standard video file. With AnyDesk, keyboard shortcuts can be instantly sent to the remote computer.

When you request to connect to the client PC, your user account image will be displayed as the identification marker. Similarly, the tool displays a list of past connections at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to access old connections. There’s a system information tab, which shows detailed information about the remote computer.

When you download AnyDesk for PC, it uses DeskRT, which is a video codec specifically designed for encoding videos of computer interfaces. As such, it runs the tasks smoothly and allows you to view the client PC’s screen clearly. When this codec combines with the software’s solid server technology, it helps in building superfast connections, whether you need them at night, or in a far-off location during a vacation.
