A direct, consent-first path between your computers.
IrisDesk uses its connection service to locate devices and establish an authenticated WebRTC session. When a direct path is unavailable, encrypted traffic can pass through the IrisDesk TURN relay.

Permission is requested for each attended session. The person at the shared computer stays in control.
Security and compatibility
Use matching current versions.
- Install IrisDesk 0.3.1 on both computers.
- Do not use the legacy Windows 0.1.0 preview with this Mac build; the protocols are incompatible.
- Internet sessions with a 12-digit address require the IrisDesk 0.3.1 connection service.
- Same-network testing can use a local invitation.
Every attended connection must be approved on the computer being shared.
Troubleshooting
If the computers do not connect
- Confirm that both computers are running the corrected IrisDesk 0.3.1 downloads above.
- Keep IrisDesk open on both computers.
- Send the request from only one computer; leave the other computer waiting for the approval prompt.
- If IrisDesk says the request was limited, wait 20 seconds and click Request a session once.
- For same-network testing, connect both computers to the same private Wi-Fi or Ethernet network and use a local invitation.
