Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing)

The UNIHIKER comes with enabled remote desktop service, so you can display the board's interface in real-time on your PC, making it convenient for teaching demonstrations or capturing screenshots for tutorials.

There are several software options available for connecting to UNIHIKER, here we will introduce three software: Windows Remote Desktop, MobaXterm, and VNC.
