    The agent can control the computer for a remote session.

Note

For agentless devices, at the end of the remote session, go back to System Preferences > Accessibility > Privacy and remove the BCM agent from the list of apps. This step is mandatory for establishing a new remote control session. For devices with agent, this step is performed only if you reinstall the agent.
