Google Inc. has started beta testing an Android app for its Chrome Remote Desktop, which will be released soon.
The invite-only beta testing for Chrome Remote Desktop Android app version was released in March.
Francois Beaufort, a Chromium Evangelist at Google, published some of the various gestures that the app has at that time, such as different combinations of finger swipes to enlarge the display, and show or hide toolbars and virtual keyboards.
The Chrome Remote Desktop is a software that lets users set up a computer for a secured remote access. Through the app, users will be able to login to the main device using a different device on a particular time setup by the host.
PCMag reported that the user just needs to install the extension into the browser of the first computer and do the same for the second computer. Both computers will be using the same login.
After turning on the second computer, which will be doing the remote connection to the first computer, the user will have immediate access on the contents of the main computer. It is not required to use Google Chrome for the user to gain access because Google developed a handy tool, called "Chromoting," which will allow users to login to another password-protected system and have control of the host's desktop.
Chromoting allows Google to work cross-platform. It even transmits the keyboard and mouse events from the main computer to the client computer, conveying the graphical screen updates over a network.
Aside from the Android app version, the Internet giant is also working on a version compatible to the iOS platform; however, according to Engadget, it seemed to be delayed it was still at an "unpolished" design point.
Additionally, it is unclear if the developers have picked- up stream, or if the Android app version will be the first mobile platform to have support for Chrome Remote Desktop.
