VNC acts like a KVM, it's like you're sitting at the computer so you can have multiple users but they all see the same thing and share control of the mouse/keyboard.
You could also use the Real VNC Connect server for $40/year but why when TightVNC is free. There is a free open source VNC server called TightVNC here: That would go on the Windows host, and then the VNC Viewer client on the Chromebooks If the Chromebooks don't have Android app support or you're not liking the Android RDP app, you could also try out VNC. So I think the ideal would be separate user accounts on Win10Pro accessed via MS Android RDP app. Chrome Remote Desktop and which one should you use. So, if you are still confused between both the apps, here is a brief rundown of TeamViewer vs. Whereas, TeamViewer is more flexible and lets you remotely access any device.
This is how Windows 10 Pro behaves, there are differences in this behavior in older versions of Windows and perhaps in Windows 10 Home as well (I never use Home version). Hence, you cannot use it to control a smartphone. By default it will kick off the current user in 30 seconds if they don't respond to the request, so no worries if someone leaves their session open. If you have separate accounts it will prompt the current user if they want to let the other person use the PC as they will be disconnected (as there can be only one user at a time on the desktop OS). If you login to the same account for everyone it will show you the same desktop and kick off any current user. To have multiple users logged into a Windows machine simultaneously you need a Windows Server OS and licenses for each user, probably more than you want to spend.įor non simultaneous logins, do you need each user to have their own account or is a shared account workable? You could use the Microsoft Remote Desktop Android app if all the Chromebooks support Android apps, when connecting to a desktop Windows machine via RDP you will be presented with the Windows logon screen.
