You can let other people view and control your desktop from another
device with a desktop viewing application. Configure Desktop Sharing
to allow others to access your desktop and set the security
preferences.
If you want to log in to your user account remotely, see
Remote Login.
Open the Activities
overview and start typing System.
Select SettingsSystem from the
results. This will open the System panel.
Select Remote Desktop to open the
Desktop Sharing panel.
To let others view your desktop, switch on Desktop Sharing.
This means that others will be able to try and connect to your device and view
your screen.
To let others interact with your desktop switch on Remote Control.
This may allow the other person to move your cursor, run applications, and
browse your files, depending on the security settings which you are currently
using.
Connecting
The How to Connect section displays the
Hostname and Port that can be used
on the connecting device. Click the button next to each entry if you want to
place it in the clipboard. A connection can also be established using your
IP address.
If you also enable Remote Login, it will set its port
number to 3389. This means Desktop Sharing will use a different port, for
example, 3390.
If the port number is not 3389, specify it when connecting.
When the other device is successfully connected to your desktop, you
will see the Screen is being shared icon
in your system status area.
If the text set as Device Name can be edited,
you can change
the name of your device on the network.
Authentication
The Login Details section displays the user name and password to be used in the
client software used for connecting to your desktop.
Click Verify Encryption to display the encryption
fingerprint. Compare it with the value displayed by the client when
connecting: they should be identical.
Clients
To connect to your desktop from another device, the following clients are
known to work.
From Linux:
Remmina, a GTK client, is available as a package in
most distributions, and also as a
flatpak.
Use default settings, particularly Color depth “Automatic”
in the connection profile settings.
Connections, a GTK client, is available as a package
in most distributions, and also as a flatpak.
xfreerdp is a command line client available as a
package in most distributions. The option /network:auto
should be passed to the client on the command line.
From Microsoft Windows:
mstsc is the built-in Windows client. Default
settings are recommended.
From Linux, Windows, or macOS:
Thincast is a proprietary client. The Linux version
is available as a flatpak.
Default settings are recommended.
Checking connection
In your chosen client, enter the Hostname or IP address.
If the port number differs from 3389, specify it (address:port).
On many networks you need to add a “.local” suffix to the computer's name
for the connection to work.
Fill in the user name and password for Desktop Sharing.
Stop sharing your desktop

The grdctl utility allows you to configure your host
settings in a console window. For usage details, type
grdctl --help.
H.264
H.264 video encoding heavily reduces bandwidth.
GNOME Remote Desktop will use H.264 when: the graphics pipeline
is used (a requirement of the protocol), the client supports it, and
NVENC (NVIDIA's encoder) is available.
