  1. Congrats on the new feature! I was super excited about this post so I hurried to go try it out. Unfortunately neither of the tests I performed succeeded in connecting even though I could install the app and open it. Both devices were Samsung so TouchWhiz must be a deal breaker. It would be great to see Samsung's devices supported in the future. Keep up the good work!

    1. Hello, Dan. Could it be that you were viewing/accessing the Customer’s screen through the Windows viewer? The back button isn’t supported in the Windows viewer yet. However, you can view/access the customer’s screen through your web browser (Try Chrome). Here’s how you can do that: When you go to assist.zoho.com and start a remote support session, you’ll be taken to the “Download installer” page. In that page, click the link in the dotted banner (“Click here to access android devices remotely”). You’ll then be able to resume the support session from your browser. There’s also another way. Download the Zoho Assist - Technician from the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoho.assist&hl=en" rel="nofollow">play store or the https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/zoho-assist/id582922932?mt=8" rel="nofollow">app store. And start the session from there. If you need more assistance, please write to assist@zohomobile.com. We’ll be happy to help.:)
