> **Ben** | *March 31, 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Like that it is easy to set up and works well.
> 
> **Cons**: The connection method involving finding and clicking session links can be clunky for some users.
> 
> It was handy for the odd occasion that someone needs a hand with their computer while I am not nearby. It was very reliable and able to see the other's screen to provide directions.&#10;Unfortunately even finding the link to open the session can be a challenge for some.
