Information and preparation guide for customers booked for a remote assistance session using Zoho Assist.

Updated this week

If you've booked a remote assistance session with one of our support agents, here's everything you need to know to ensure a smooth experience.


Before the Session

  • You will receive an email invitation to the remote session 5–10 minutes before the scheduled time.

  • The email includes a link to join. Simply click the link and follow the on-screen instructions to download and connect via Zoho Assist.


Prepare for Your Session

  • Be on time and stay at your computer during the entire session.

  • Ensure your computer is fully charged or plugged in.

  • Make sure your internet connection is stable.

  • Choose a quiet environment with minimal distractions.


Good to Know

  • You must have access to any account(s) required for the installation (e.g., Microsoft account).

  • All communication during the session takes place via live chat in Zoho Assist — no phone calls required.

  • We never ask for your passwords or login details. You will enter these yourself when needed.

  • Session duration may vary depending on your internet speed or any technical issues that arise.

  • Remote assistance only includes the installation or troubleshooting of the software you ordered, or anything specifically agreed upon beforehand.

  • We do not assist with unrelated computer issues outside the scope of your order.

  • Zoho Assist will also be automatically uninstalled from your computer after the session ends.

  • For your security, once the session ends, our access is fully terminated.


Extra Tips for a Smooth Session

  • Close any unnecessary applications before the session to improve performance.

  • If using a work computer, make sure you have administrator access.

  • If prompted by your system, allow Zoho Assist permissions to control your device.
