 ANYDESK or ANYVIEW
+== 1. AnyDesk ==
+Why It’s Good
+Lightweight, fast, and tends to perform well even on slower connections.
+Easy multi-monitor support: If you have two monitors, your remote partner can switch between them or see them in tabs.
+Free for personal use (paid plans for business).
+Potential Downsides
+The free version is for non-commercial use only.
+Slightly simpler interface than TeamViewer but can still feel “techy” for non-IT folks.
+== 2. Splashtop ==
+Why It’s Good
+High performance and minimal lag (it’s known for good streaming quality).
+Simple multi-monitor handling; you can switch between displays or view them side-by-side.
+Multiple products tailored to different needs (personal, business, SOS for support, etc.).
+Potential Downsides
+The free version is limited to personal use within a local network.
+If you need remote access from anywhere, you’ll likely need a paid plan.
+== 3. Chrome Remote Desktop ==
+Why It’s Good
+Completely free, and uses your Google account to connect.
+Very straightforward to set up: just install the Chrome Remote Desktop extension.
+Good enough for basic remote support or personal use.
+Potential Downsides
+Feature set is minimal compared to TeamViewer (no chat in the app, no file transfer within the session, etc.).
+Multi-monitor support is basic: you can switch between monitors but not view both simultaneously in a single combined view.
