Not at all. I’ll walk you through each step over the phone. If you can move a mouse and click, we can usually get connected. ### Can you see my passwords or personal information? During a session, I can see your screen just like you do. If we need to enter a password, I’ll always tell you first and you can choose whether to do it yourself. ### Do I have to stay at the computer the whole time? It’s best if you’re nearby in case I need you to confirm something, but you don’t have to sit and watch every moment unless you want to. ### Can remote support fix every problem? No. Hardware problems, major Wi-Fi issues, or dead computers usually require an onsite visit. If remote support isn’t the right approach, I’ll tell you honestly. ### Do you offer remote support outside Lethbridge? In many cases, yes — especially for software and email problems.
