You'll need to set up your computer for remote access so you'll have to install a couple pieces of software. You have to install the extension from the Chrome store. If you're using a Chromebook, you can only use the “share” mode, and in that case there's no avoiding the timeout: “If you are sharing your computer, you will be asked to confirm that you want to continue to share your computer every 30 minutes”.Chrome Remote Desktop is basic but solid.
Then you can set up that computer for remote access (the process is a bit more involved on Linux details are on that page), and there will be no time out. If you're using Windows, Mac or Linux on the computer you'd like to access remotely (in future), then from that computer (at a time when you have physical access to it) go to (sign in if necessary) and download the Chrome Remote Desktop application. More details from this support page ( version as of today): per that page, Chrome Remote Desktop can be used to either “Set up remote access to your computer” (on Windows/Mac/Linux), or to “Share your computer with someone else” (on Windows/Mac/Linux/ChromeOS). The timeout is avoidable when the remote computer is running Windows/Mac/Linux, but not if it is a Chromebook (running Chrome OS). In the same Chrome Remote Desktop page, in the section "My Computers", you'll see the computer you just added.Ĭlick on it, enter the code (possibly checking the checkbox to avoid entering the password again at the next connection)
This will install a few things on your computer (I believe it at least changed the registry on my Windows). There, you click on Enable Remote Connection, which will prompt you to create a password. In the Chrome Remote Desktop page, the section that interests you is the "My Computers" sections. This obviously means you need to physically access that computer. 1 Configure your "remote" computer to accept remote connections
If you want to avoid the timeouts, then you must sign in on Chrome on both client and remote computers with the same google identifier (i.e. I had to research that a few hours ago for the same reasons. What you are experiencing is a normal timeout, because of security concerns.
