3 Zoho Lens Features That Turn Remote Support Into a Hands-On Experience
When your client says, “This isn’t working” but you can’t see what they’re seeing…
Email and chat just won’t cut it.
Zoho Lens is an augmented reality (AR) remote support tool that lets you visually walk clients or teammates through fixes, installs, audits, and inspections, as if you were standing right there.
Whether you're supporting a field team, troubleshooting hardware, or helping a client get set up, these three features will seriously level up your remote game.
Watch How Zoho Lens Lets You Guide Clients Remotely in Real Time
What is Zoho Lens?
Zoho Lens is a remote assistance platform that uses live video streaming and augmented reality annotations to help you:
- See exactly what your client sees in real time
- Guide them visually with live markup
- Communicate via voice, chat, or on-screen drawings
- Avoid unnecessary travel or back-and-forth emails
- Save and review session recordings for training or QA
It’s like Zoom, a whiteboard, and a field tech rolled into one, without needing to install a single app.
Feature #1: Live Video + AR Markup
Point, draw, and guide, on their screen.
As soon as the session starts, your client shares their camera view (from their phone, tablet, or laptop). You can:
- Draw arrows, circles, and highlights on the screen in real time
- Show them exactly where to look, tap, plug, or inspect
- Freeze the frame to annotate without needing them to hold still
- Zoom in for details, great for wires, hardware panels, or equipment labels
Whether it’s a loose cable or a software setting, you can walk them through it visually, no guesswork needed.
Feature #2: Voice, Text + Session Recording
Talk them through it, and save the proof.
You can communicate with your client or teammate through:
- Voice call (built into the session)
- Text chat for clarity or quiet environments
- On-screen annotations for non-verbal instructions
- Session recording to review, document, or train from later
Perfect for audits, inspections, onboarding walkthroughs, and recurring issues that need a paper trail.
Feature #3: Works on Any Device
No app install. No excuses.
Your client doesn’t need to install a single app. They just:
- Click a secure session link
- Enable their camera
- Start streaming to you live
It works on:
- iOS or Android smartphones
- Tablets and laptops
- Smart glasses (for hands-free use in the field)
That means zero friction, and way fewer IT headaches.
