Using Virtual Assist

During a Virtual Assist session, you are not completely locked out of your computer. Both the technician and customer can control the computer, although this may cause confusion and consternation if they both attempt to “drive” at the same time. You can resume control when the technician is not actively typing or moving the mouse. And you can end the session at any time by clicking the End Virtual Assist button in the bottom right corner.

Click the Chat button or enter Alt-cto open an instant message style chat session with the technician.

The technician can also open a Chat window to communicate with you. To chat, type text in the Chat window and type Enter or click Send.
