Remote Control — working with the stream

Remote Control is a window with direct access to your rented Workstation. Opens with the 🖥️ Open Remote Control button in the active session card, runs as a fullscreen Mini App right inside Telegram (no browser needed).

How to open

In the active session card, tap 🖥️ Open Remote Control — the stream opens in fullscreen. If auto-fullscreen didn't kick in, an «Open» button appears — tap it manually.

What you see

A fullscreen image of your Workstation's Windows desktop — as if you were sitting in front of a physical PC. The Workstation desktop is native 4K (3840×2160); the stream adapts to your device (up to 1440p) with a smooth 60 fps picture. Control it with mouse/touch and keyboard.

Button panel (right edge)

A button panel is semi-visible on the right edge of the screen. Hover your mouse over the edge — the panel slides out fully. It contains:

• Driver / Viewer — the role toggle button (see below).
• Assistance — open an AI chat right inside the stream.

Balance and indicators (on click)

To see the balance and connection statuses, click anywhere in the stream. You'll see:

• Balance — your current balance (personal or team) and an estimate of remaining time at the current rate.
• Connection indicator — stream link status: green = all good, yellow/red = network trouble.
• Drive sync indicator — shows when Google Drive is currently syncing files (green = up to date, blue = transfer in progress).

Driver and Viewer

More than one person can join the stream (for example, the whole team). To avoid fighting over the mouse and keyboard, only one person has control at a time — the Driver. Everyone else is in Viewer mode — they see the picture but can't click.

• Driver — you control the Workstation: mouse, keyboard, everything.
• Viewer — you're watching. Control belongs to someone else.
• Request control — the Viewer label in the overlay is clickable: tap it, and the current Driver gets a notification with Accept / Decline buttons. If they accept — control passes to you, and your button changes to Driver.

Assistance

The Assistance button on the panel opens an AI chat right inside the stream — you can ask about software, settings, rendering, without leaving the Workstation.

The chat is synced with the bot: if you started a conversation in 🛟 AI Assistant in the main menu and then opened the stream — you'll see it there too. And vice versa — anything you ask via Assistance in the stream is saved in the bot's history.

Controls

Desktop

• Mouse — clicks, drags, context menu, wheel — all native, one-to-one with your Workstation.
• Keyboard — physical keyboard passes through directly, including modifiers and shortcuts (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Z and so on).

Mobile (iOS and Android)

The stream uses a trackpad-style control layer — you don't tap "where you want to click" on the video directly. Instead:

• Virtual cursor (white arrow) stays on top of the picture. Slide your finger anywhere on the screen — the cursor moves like on a laptop trackpad, smoothly, without teleporting to your finger.
• Quick tap = left click at the cursor's current position.
• Long-press (half a second, with a short vibration) = hold the left button down — after that, drag your finger to drag things on the Workstation. Release your finger to release the button.
• Two-finger tap (no movement) = right click.
• Two-finger vertical swipe = scroll wheel (scroll documents, Blender viewport zoom-in/zoom-out and so on).
• Two-finger pinch = zoom the picture locally in the viewer (doesn't send anything to the Workstation).

Cursor sensitivity is tuned for comfortable mobile work; the cursor is smoothly interpolated between frames, without jittery jumps.

Mobile keyboard

A round ⌨ keyboard button appears in the bottom-right corner once the stream is up:

• Tap it → the native Telegram keyboard for your phone slides up. The button turns green.
• Type text — each character is sent straight to the active window on the Workstation. Any layout works: Latin, Cyrillic, accented characters, emoji — all pass through. You don't need to switch keyboard layouts inside Windows itself, the phone's keyboard layout wins.
• Enter / Backspace / Tab / Esc / arrows / Home / End / Page Up / Page Down / Delete are sent as proper keystrokes — Enter submits forms, arrows move the cursor in text, and so on.
• Tap the keyboard button again → the keyboard hides, the button goes back to blue.

The keyboard button and the virtual cursor both show up only when the stream is actually running — on the loading screen or after the session ends they disappear.

Text clipboard

Copying text works both ways — copy on your PC or phone, paste into the Workstation (and vice versa). Handy for file paths, passwords, script snippets.

File clipboard isn't supported — use Google Drive for that.

Audio

Works one-way: audio from the Workstation comes to you (render previews with sound, video playback, system sounds). There's no microphone from your side to the Workstation.

File exchange

Files are moved via Google Drive — it's auto-mounted inside the Workstation. You drop a scene into your Drive folder from your phone or PC, and the Workstation sees it instantly. Save your final render into the same folder — it syncs back.

There's no drag-and-drop of files into the stream window.

Closing the stream

Swipe down or use the «Back» button in Telegram — closes the stream window, but the session keeps running (billing continues). To come back — use 🖥️ Open Remote Control from the card again.

To fully stop the rental — tap ⏹ Stop rental on the session card.

If it lags or drops

• The stream tries to reconnect on network loss by itself.
• If the picture freezes — close the stream and open it again.
• If that doesn't help — reach out to support via Support.

Picture quality

The stream parameters are set automatically — the Workstation desktop is native 4K (3840×2160), and the stream adapts to your device and network (up to 1440p @ 60 fps). They're tuned for most networks; if you still see lag, it's most likely your internet, not ours.
