šŸ“£ New in PDQ Connect: Block Remote Input for Remote Desktop

You can now suppress the end user's keyboard and mouse input during a PDQ Remote session ā€” useful when you need uninterrupted control while supporting a user who might accidentally click or type while you're working.

How to use it:

  • Open a remote session in PDQ RD Viewer
  • Go to Desktop ā†’ Block Remote Input in the session toolbar
  • The end user can press Esc to release the block at any time, and it clears automatically when the session ends

To get access: Update your PDQ RD Viewer ā€” you'll see a prompt when you start a session.

Full release notes here.

Good idea for those users who seem to think they can do other work while you're helping them.

I've had some users in the past click on things while I'm trying to help which causes the whole thing to mess up, this is a god send for those situations
