AnyDesk software tutorial
So far, we have seen what AnyDesk is and how it is installed. Now let’s see what AnyDesk access is. Now it’s time to learn how to control a computer remotely with AnyDesk and run it. Double-click on the software icon to run it. You will see a window like the one below.
What is the AnyDesk code?
In the first field (This Desk), the system address ID appears, which is used to establish connections with others in your system.
The second field (Remote Desk) is for entering the ID of the device you want to connect to. This section is used when you intend to connect to someone else’s computer. For this purpose, you need to enter the desired computer ID in this field.
The Connect button initiates the connection. If you have entered a system ID in the Remote Desk field, you should click on this option so that AnyDesk can connect you to the desired device. When you click on this button, if you see the phrase “AnyDesk Ready”, it means that everything is set for using AnyDesk and a successful remote connection has been established.
At the bottom of this section, you will see a list of different devices that you have recently connected to. In this case, you can connect to previous devices in the shortest possible time without needing to enter the device ID.
Now suppose you have sent a connection request in AnyDesk, a request similar to the image below appears on the target computer. By confirming the request, the user enables the connection between the two systems. The options shown in the window are as follows:
1- In this section, the profile picture and user ID of the person who intends to connect to your system is displayed.
2- With the options shown, you determine the method of establishing the connection. The options shown in this section are as follows:
- Allow to hear sound: Allows the user to hear your microphone sound. Therefore, if this option is active, the possibility of establishing audio communication is provided.
- Allow to take control: The other person has the ability to access and control your system. This option is useful when you are interacting with other developers and your code needs editing, or if your system is broken and a technician intends to fix a software problem remotely. However, keep in mind that in this case, the other person has access to your system’s content. If you disable the tick of the above option, the connected person can only see the screen content and cannot control it.
- Allow to use clipboard: It provides the ability to use temporary memory between two systems and is a simple way to transfer files between two systems.
- Allow to block keyboard and mouse: Deactivates your system’s keyboard and mouse, which in most cases it is not logical to activate and not be able to do anything yourself!
3- The Accept button, which is shown in green, means accepting the request, and by clicking on it, you accept the connecting computer’s request.
4- If you click on the Dismiss option, the connection will be rejected.
When the connection between the two devices is established, you will see an image similar to the image below. The important parts of this page are as follows:
- You see the connection time to the origin system.
- It is used to disconnect the two systems and the requester’s access to the computer is cut off.
- All chats or conversations between you and the person connected to the system are displayed in the form of a txt file.
- Performed events are shown in a list format. For example, receiving a connection request and a successful connection can be seen in this section.
- You can directly chat with the person connected to the computer.
When someone requests a connection to a system, the user interface of the Anydesk software on his system looks like the image below.
1- You may intend to connect to multiple systems simultaneously. In this case, you have a separate tab for each system.
2- Clicking on this section brings up the chat window and shows your conversations with the person to whose computer you are connected.
3- By clicking on this section, you can access the keyboard settings.
4- Clicking on this section opens a window that contains various options.
The options in this section are as follows:

- Take Screenshot: This allows you to take a screenshot of the other person’s computer screen.
- Show System info: The hardware specifications and operating system of the other computer are displayed.
The more practical options for more professional interaction with the Anydesk software are as follows:

- Original: Displays the screen image of the person’s computer you are connected to in its original form without any changes.
- Stretch: Allows the image of the computer of the person you are connected to be displayed in accordance with the resolution of your system’s display.
- Auto-Adapt screen: It automatically aligns the resolution of the content of the two systems.

- Control Mouse and Keyboard: Use your system’s mouse and keyboard to control the other system.
- Synchronize clipboard: If the above option is not enabled, the feature of transferring files and text between the two systems is disabled.
- Block users input: If this option is active, it disables the mouse, keyboard, and system operation that you are connected to, and only you can control the system via mouse and keyboard. Of course, this happens when the above option is enabled by the other party in the “Allow to block keyboard and mouse” section.
- Exit: Disconnects the two systems.
Teaching Installation of AnyDesk on Windows and Using It
You should note that the AnyDesk software is a fully secure and reliable application, and there is no way to remotely access the computer again after exiting this Software. In fact, you have to use a new code that is issued for each entry. An interesting point is that when you give someone access to your computer remotely, you can sit behind your system and observe and control all the behaviors of the person connected to your system. Thus, the host system or mobile phone only temporarily has control of your system’s mouse and keyboard under your supervision, and you as the host system can stop their access whenever you want. Working with the AnyDesk application is very easy, and you can gain remote access to a computer with just a few simple steps. In this regard, you should:
1- First, install the AnyDesk software on the host system and also on the guest system or phone. To do this, click on the green buttons above to download the AnyDesk Software with a direct link and install it.

3- Upon entry, you will encounter a page similar to the image below. This page includes two main sections that you need to be familiar with to receive or provide remote access to a computer:
This Desk: In this section, you will see a code that you should copy and provide to the guest person if you intend to give remote access to your system to another system.
Remote Desk: However, if you intend to log in as a guest to someone else’s system, you should enter the code that the person gives you into the specified field and finally click the Connect button.
Now if you have provided the code to someone else, you need to confirm that person’s access as a guest to your system in another step. In this regard, a page similar to the image below will be displayed to you, and by clicking the Accept button, permission is granted, and the person can temporarily take control of your system. If you are supposed to log in as a guest to someone else’s system, you should wait for that person to confirm the connection request sent by you.
1- Once permission for remote access to the computer has been granted, you have logged into the system and can manage it. Note that the host computer can easily disconnect your access at any time by clicking the Disconnect button.
2- In the event of disconnection, a message similar to the image below is displayed on the guest system, indicating that you no longer have the ability to access the computer remotely, and to reconnect, you need to click on the Retry button so that if the request is accepted again, your connection will be established.
Accessing a mobile device via a computer
The Anydesk application also enables users to manage an Android device remotely from a computer. If you intend to control an Android phone from a computer remotely, you need to follow the steps below:
1- In the first step of the process of accessing a mobile phone via a computer, you need to install the Anydesk app on your desktop system and the target mobile phone. To do this, make use of the green box at the top of the page and proceed to install Anydesk.
2- In the next step, ask the person with the mobile phone to access their mobile phone and copy the code located in the “Your Address” section and share it with you.
3- Now in the next step, you need to access Anydesk on your desktop system and enter the received code in the empty field in the “Remote Desk” section, and finally click on the “Connect” button.
4- On the target mobile phone, a message like the one in the picture below will be displayed. The person with the phone should touch the “Accept” option to grant access permission.
5- After that, the connection request sent will be visible on the Android mobile phone, at this stage you must again touch the “Accept” option.
6- Now it’s time to decide whether to permit recording or accessing the information displayed on the screen or not. To view mobile phone information on your computer, the “Start now” option must be selected by the mobile phone holder.
7- Finally, access to the phone via the computer is provided, and you can view the information about the Android mobile phone on your computer.
Setting a password on Anydesk
To enhance the security of the Anydesk application, a feature is available that allows you to set a password on the Anydesk application installed on your computer. To set a password on Anydesk, you should:
1- Access the active Anydesk application on your computer.
2- Then, like the picture below, click on the 3-line symbol located at the top right of the application.
3- Now, among the options available in the menu that is displayed to you, select the Settings menu.
4- Then the page related to Anydesk settings will be shown to you. At this stage of setting a password on Anydesk, you should select the Security option.

6- Consequently, a pop-up box will be displayed to you. You should enter your desired password in the specified field and then click on the “Apply” button.
7- By doing this, you will see that when someone tries to connect to your system via Anydesk from their mobile phone or another computer, they will encounter an “Authorization” message, as shown in the picture below. They will only be able to gain remote access to your system if they enter the password that you have set.
Dangers of the AnyDesk Software
Theoretically and generally, AnyDesk uses TLS 1.2 and RSA 2048 encryption algorithms to verify users’ identities and securely transfer information. However, since the internet is the medium for information transfer, AnyDesk has settings that provide system access and control. If the software is not properly configured, and you connect with an unknown person via AnyDesk, there’s a possibility of access to personal information.
One of the dangers of the AnyDesk Software that users face is unauthorized access to personal files. If you’ve enabled options like remote access, mouse and keyboard access, and overall computer control on your system, haven’t defined a password for connection to AnyDesk, and your ID number is available to others when you receive a connection request and click the “Accept” option, the other person may be able to access your files.
AnyDesk License
While it is possible to use the AnyDesk software for free, however, the available features in the free version are very limited and practically not suitable for conducting business activities. Professional users go for purchasing licenses of this software:
- Lite for ordinary uses
- Professional for professional work and suitable for small businesses
- Enterprise for organizational scale uses
The latest panel that AnyDesk has released about its licenses is as follows:
Users can use the trial version of this product for free for 2 weeks, however, for the basic version, they have to pay nearly $19.99 per month, for the professional version nearly $38.90 per month, and for the enterprise version, they need to contact the company.
