TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Fix problems in minutes, not hours.

GoDesk gives support techs full remote control, in-session chat, and recording — so nobody has to drive anywhere. Same protocol the big names use, fraction of the cost.

WHAT'S WRONG TODAY

Why support tickets stay open.

Four reasons phone-only support drags resolution times into next week.

On-site visits are costly and slow

Sending a technician on-site costs time and money — especially when the fix takes five minutes once you can see the screen.

Phone support is inefficient

Talking someone through 'click the third tab, no the other one' wastes everyone's time and leaves tickets open.

No visibility into the user's screen

When you can't see the error yourself, you guess. That means trial-and-error troubleshooting and longer resolution times.

No audit trail for support sessions

No session logs or recordings means no way to check what happened, prove compliance, or settle disputes.

HOW IT WORKS

What GoDesk gives a support tech.

Six features that turn ad-hoc screen-share calls into a real support workflow.

Full remote screen control

See and operate the user's desktop in real time. Diagnose by clicking, not by describing icons over the phone.

In-session chat

Built-in text chat keeps clear communication inside the session. No tab-switching, no Slack split-attention.

Session recording

Maintain a complete audit trail of every support interaction. Replay for QA, compliance or training.

Temporary one-time passwords

Generate a one-time access code per session. The password expires automatically — no lingering access after disconnect.

Connection history

Track every past session by client, date and duration. Pull a CSV for an audit or a billing query in seconds.

Unattended access for follow-up

Pre-configured access for trusted machines. Do follow-up maintenance without requiring the user to be present.

THE KIT

Features built for support techs.

01 / DESKTOP

Remote desktop

03 / RECORDING

Session recording

Automatically record support sessions for QA, compliance and training. Stored locally, replayable any time.

04 / AUTH

Temporary passwords

05 / HISTORY

Address book

Organise client machines in a searchable address book with tags. Quick access during repeat support calls.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Does the end user need to approve the remote connection?
By default the user must share an ID and password or accept an incoming request. For pre-configured machines, unattended access lets technicians connect without user interaction.
Can I support users on different operating systems?
Yes. GoDesk is cross-platform — support Windows, macOS and Linux machines from any device, including mobile.
Is session recording automatic?
Recording can be enabled by default in your account settings so every session is captured automatically, or it can be started manually per session.
How do temporary passwords improve security?
Temporary passwords are generated for a single session and expire after disconnect. This prevents unauthorised reconnection and ensures each support interaction is explicitly authorised.
