You see, your controller is ready for the action! Now, it’s time to configure the host.
Host
The host is the computer that you want to control. Download the TunaDesk Setup for Windows from this link.
Or alternatively, download the unpackaged version for Windows from this link. If you prefer, you can also compile it from the source for your desired operating system by following the instructions in the repository.
- Launch TunaDesk in administrator mode to grant screen-sharing permission.
- Click the Start Accepting Connections Button and share your host ID with the controller.
- The controller accepts the host ID in their web browser to begin controlling the host.
Several controllers can connect to the same host and can either observe the session or take full control of it.
The host application has several settings such as:
- Auto start connections on app startup.
- Save hostId.
- TURN configuration.
- Launch TunaDesk at system startup.
You can customize TunaDesk for your specific usage by enabling or disabling these settings.
Start a Control Session
All you need to do is go back to your controller web page located here:

And that’s it!
