Remote session popup
When a remote session is in progress, a remote session popup is displayed on the end user's desktop. Users can view the remote session on their screen including information about users who are connected while maintaining the aspect ratio of the remote session. The remote session popup displays details about the Administrators connected to your system. If multiple administrators are connected at the same time, the end user can change the administrator displayed by clicking the right-arrow image on the remote control session popup.
