How to Start Remote Assistance During a Phone Call

During a phone call with a customer, you can provide immediate hands-on help with the click of a button. The following procedure describes what you and the customer will do to start a remote assistance session via LogMeIn Rescue on either a desktop or mobile device.

Procedure

  1. Make sure you are logged in to the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console.

  2. While on a service call, click the Start remote assistance Start-Remote-Assistance-Call-Icon-5399LogMeIn.PNG button.

    During an active service call, click "Start remote assistance"


  3. The Remote Assist Session dialog will be popped to Agent Desktop. This window displays the following:

    1. The Numeric PIN code (e.g., "123456") - The PIN is needed for starting the remote assistance session.

    2. Create Another PIN - Clicking this button will generate a new PIN number.

    3. URL for manual PIN input: oty.com - This is the URL that the customer will use for entering the PIN code.

    4. Close - Clicking this button will close the Remote Assist Session dialog, removing it from your Agent Desktop screen.

  4. Instruct the customer to type the URL into the address bar of their web browser and enter the PIN number.

  5. Once the customer has successfully entered the PIN number on that page, then the LogMeIn application for either desktop devices (Mac/Win) or mobile devices (Android/iOS) will either be downloaded or will be opened in the App Store or Google Play for downloading.

What Happens Next

If the Customer Is on a Desktop Device

  1. The page will open for the customer and will begin downloading the Support-LogMeInRescue application (Mac/Win). The customer will then open the app and give the required permission.

  2. At the same time, you, the agent who is logged in to the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console, will receive a sound notification in the console, and you will see that there is a new remote desktop session with status "Waiting."

  3. Select the session in the application and click Start Session.

  4. Then select either Remote control session to control and make changes to the customer's desktop, or viewing session to observe the customer's desktop only.

  5. The remote assistance session is established.

  6. During the remote assistance session, you and the customer can continue talking on the phone.

If the Customer Is on a Mobile Device

  1. The LogMeIn Rescue + Mobile app will be shown in the App Store or Google Play. The customer should download and launch the app. Then, the customer will enter the PIN manually.

  2. At the same time, you, the agent who is logged in to the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console, will receive a sound notification in the console, and you will see that there is a new remote desktop session with status "Waiting."

  3. Select the session in the application and click Start Session.

  4. The remote assistance session is established, and you can then observe the customer's mobile device screen only. For mobile devices, you cannot control or make changes.

  5. During the remote assistance session, you and the customer can continue talking on the phone.
