Which Platforms and Devices Does Remotly Support?

Remotly supports remote connections between Windows PCs and from Android mobile devices to a PC. According to the official site, you can share your screen, grant access to your PC, and play games remotely from other PCs or Android devices, with video quality up to 4K HDR at 60fps. If you need to control a Windows machine from another computer or an Android phone or tablet, Remotly is built for that scenario. The site reports 100,000+ mobile app downloads and 50,000+ registered users across 30+ countries.

Supported platform combinations

The homepage describes the software as remote control software for Windows, with the option to play games on Android devices or other low-end PCs. In practice, that means the host machine (the one being controlled) is a Windows PC, and the client device (the one you control it from) can be either another Windows PC or an Android device.

What you can do on each platform

Windows-to-Windows

• Share your screen with another PC.
• Grant full remote access to your PC.
• Run remote co-working sessions.
• Play games remotely on a low-end PC while the game runs on a more powerful Windows machine.

Android-to-Windows

• Access your PC from an Android phone or tablet.
• Play games remotely at up to 4K resolution and 60fps, with the site claiming ultra-low latency and low battery usage.
• Use the mobile app, which has passed 100,000 downloads according to the homepage.

How to get started

1. Go to remotly.com and check the plans page (linked as "PRICING" in the site navigation) to confirm which tier fits your use case.
2. Install Remotly on the Windows PC you want to control.
3. Install the Remotly app on the other Windows PC or Android device you want to connect from.
4. Establish the connection using the connection ID. The site notes that the remote assistance application blocks access to the connection code from unauthorized persons, so keep your ID private.
5. Verify the session works by sharing your screen or granting access, then test game streaming if that is your goal.

Security features to expect

• All transmitted data is encrypted using the AES-256 standard.
• Connections use AES encryption with a unique key for each session.
• The connection code is hidden from unauthorized persons through the invisible user ID feature.

These points matter if you plan to access work machines or client computers remotely, which the site highlights as a core business use case.

Common considerations

• The site does not list macOS, iOS, or Linux as supported platforms in the provided material, so if you need those, verify directly on the site before committing.
• Pricing details are not included in the source material beyond the existence of a plans page, so check that page for current rates and limits.
• The 4K HDR and 60fps figures are the maximum quality stated by the vendor; actual performance depends on your network and hardware.

If your setup is a Windows PC controlled from another Windows PC or an Android device, Remotly covers that combination. Start by confirming the plan that matches your usage, then install the software on both ends and connect using your session ID.
