What is Zoho Assist?
Zoho Assist is a cloud-based remote support and remote access platform that helps you:
- View and control devices with permission
- Troubleshoot issues in real time
- Set up unattended access for regular clients or team devices
- Communicate via voice or chat during sessions
- Send files or updates securely
It works across operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux), and requires zero client setup beyond a secure session link.
Feature #1: Remote Screen Sharing + Control
Fix it yourself, in real time.
Instead of guiding your client through 15 confusing steps, Zoho Assist lets you:
- See their screen as soon as they join the session
- Control their mouse and keyboard (with permission)
- Change settings, install tools, and complete tasks for them
- Eliminate “What do you see now?” conversations entirely
It’s like sitting at their desk, without ever leaving yours.
Feature #2: Unattended Access
Support recurring clients without the back-and-forth.
If you regularly manage systems or software for the same people, you can:
- Set up unattended access once
- Log in without needing them to initiate a session
- Perform updates, run checks, or fix issues at off-hours
- Save everyone time and avoid scheduling headaches}
Perfect for IT teams, remote administrators, and white-label tech support providers.
Feature #3: Voice, Chat + File Transfer
Everything you need, built right in.
Zoho Assist includes built-in tools to make support sessions smooth and professional:
- Voice calling so you can talk live
- Chat for sending links, instructions, or quick messages
- File transfer for patches, updates, or setup files directly into their system
No need to juggle Zoom, Slack, email, and Dropbox just to get something fixed.
Remote Support That Works Like You Do
Whether you offer client-facing support or manage internal devices, Zoho Assist gives you professional-grade control, clarity, and connection, without the clunky setup.
