Joining a shared browser

What you connect to

The shared browser runs on the host’s computer, using its hardware, network and session files.

The host’s personal desktop is outside the shared browser view.

Use an invitation from a host you know. BrowserSeat Desktop is the default guest client; browser links are another way to join.

The host approves the connection. Invitations expire after 30 minutes.

Guests start in Watch mode. When the host allows control, select Take control to send mouse and keyboard input.

Return to Watch when you want to stop interacting. Participant cursors are optional.

Ask the host whether BrowserSeat is still running and the computer is awake and online. Reconnecting requires host approval again.

Check whether a website received your previous action before repeating a submission.

Tell the host what you completed and which session files you created. Disconnect when the work is finished.

The host can revoke access and invalidate the invitation.
