Connecting with a Connection ID

Share access to your PC with anyone using the unique 14-character connection ID.

The Connection ID is the unique identifier of your Remotly session. It lets other devices connect to your PC without adding them to your device list — useful for one‑off support sessions. To grant longer‑term access, see how to create invitations.

Where to find the Connection ID

The Connection ID is displayed on the left side of the main window, below “Share this computer”.

How to use the Connection ID

You do not need a Remotly account to share your computer via Connection ID — copy the code to the clipboard or share it by e‑mail. The person connecting needs a Remotly account; they can create one for free.

Sharing the Connection ID

Every time someone connects with your Connection ID you must approve or reject the connection on your PC.

A user logged in to Remotly can connect to any PC whose Connection ID they know — as long as the owner approves.
