Agent App Settings¶

Learn what settings are available in the Agent app for each operating system to customize its behavior according to your remote access needs.

The location of the app settings depends on the operating system version the application is running on:

Device Name¶

This is the name used in the Getscreen.me platform to identify the device where the application is running.

If permanent access is configured, this name will appear in the list of devices in the administrator’s dashboard. The synchronization also works both ways — if the administrator changes the device name in the dashboard, it will automatically update in the application as well.

Application Settings¶

This section contains application settings specific to the operating system environment.

Auto Run¶

When enabled, this option tells the operating system to launch the application automatically when the system starts.

It is recommended to keep this option enabled if Permanent Access is configured — this ensures you don’t lose remote control over the device after a system reboot.

Non-administrator Setup¶

Enabling this option allows a non-administrator user of the operating system to change the agent application settings.

Server Settings¶

Used to override the default Getscreen.me server address. This option is intended for use with the Self-Hosted server version.

Proxy Settings¶

These settings are used when the device running the application connects to the Internet through a proxy server. You can specify authentication parameters for the application to connect to the Getscreen.me server via the proxy.

Interface Language¶

You can select the interface language manually if the automatic language detection based on the operating system language was incorrect at first launch. Both left-to-right and right-to-left languages are supported.

Connection Settings¶

This section contains settings related to the connection sessions established with the device.

Video Channel Settings¶

When connecting to a device in remote desktop control mode, the image from the remote screen is transmitted as a video stream. High-quality video requires stable network conditions, which may not always be available. Therefore, you can adjust the video encoding settings to reduce the amount of transmitted data.

Permissions¶

This section defines which actions are allowed for a remote operator when connecting to the device.

Mouse and Keyboard Control¶

This option allows the remote operator to control the mouse and keyboard when connected to the device in screen control mode.

Screen Sharing¶

This option allows connections to the device via one-time access links.

If this option is disabled, the Screen Control tab in the application will be hidden.

File Transfer¶

This option allows access to the device’s file system for uploading and downloading files.

Terminal Mode¶

This option allows the remote operator to connect to the device in terminal mode.

Audio Calls¶

This option allows making and receiving voice calls with the remote operator during a screen control session.

Lock Input and Black Screen¶

This option allows the remote operator to disable the device screen and block input from the keyboard and mouse.

Unconfirmed Connections¶

This option allows the remote operator to connect to the device without requiring confirmation.

If this option is disabled, a confirmation window will appear on the device asking the user to approve the connection:

Prevent from Sleeping¶

This option prevents the operating system from entering sleep mode to ensure uninterrupted remote access to the device.

Group Settings¶

You can apply the above-mentioned settings not only to a single device but also to multiple devices at once, provided they have permanent access configured. These settings can be applied to all devices in your account or to specific device groups.

If a device has group settings applied from the permanent access administrator account, changing them directly in the application interface will be restricted:

Console Commands¶

You can modify the application settings not only through the graphical interface but also using the -config console command.
