How It Works
Live help from Technical Support Reps! How it works...
Here's how to get live computer help right on your desktop:
- Give us a call at the support number on this page and tell us the problem.
- Your support rep will request your permission to share your screen, mouse and keyboard.
- Your support rep will give you a 7-digit code to enter in the box.
- The screen-sharing plug-in automatically downloads onto your computer once you accept your browser’s security warning.
- Your support rep helps you directly on your computer, as if he or she were sitting right next to you.
- How? The screen-sharing plug-in lets your support rep see your computer screen, share your mouse and keyboard and draw on your screen using the special Whiteboard feature.
