If you&#8217;ve been a user of our product until now, you&#8217;ll be familiar with the &#8220;install Server on the machine you&#8217;re controlling and Server on the machine you&#8217;re controlling&#8221; dynamic. This structure has most certainly served its purpose. However, the new unified app offers a welcome simplification.\u202f<\/p><p>Previously, you would have needed to manage and use each application separately, depending on what you needed. Or, indeed, have both installed on a machine, if it was serving both purposes. For example, if you needed to access your work computer from home, but you were providing support to colleagues from it as well. All that is in the past; you now have an application that handles both roles.\u202f<\/p><p>You can toggle between the two roles seamlessly. Plus, if you don&#8217;t want a machine to be accessible, you can switch off the Server functionality in one click. Configuration is done from the same app.\u202f<\/p><p>We believe that this, along with the simplified naming it comes with, will make things much easier to manage.\u202f<\/p><p>The RealVNC Connect version 8 beta is not just an update. It&#8217;s a whole new way of working with remote access.
