Zoho Assist New Version : 2.6.5 Fails To Download
Hi Admin I believe that this was supposed to be fixed from V2.6.4 for downloading updates, the update advises to visit the homepage which pulls up the V2.6.4 exe file. Also would it be possible for a change log to see what is implemented in each new release.
Unattended Access on Headless Linux
Hello, Is it possible to install the unattended access on a headless Linux unit? We have several computers that are running the terminal-side only versions of Ubuntu. I see that there is an option to download the installer for Ubuntu, however it seems like you must have the UI in order to download and run the installer on Ubuntu. We tried to simply wget the installer, but there is no link from the Ubuntu installer and the deployment link does not work with the wget command it seems. Are we just out

Any way to reduce client clicks to start session macOS?
I'm currently using Zoho Assist for my macOS clients as i love how it doesn't present all of those ominous macOS dialogs when connecting like all other remote support tools currently on macOS. Although those dialogs aren't presented, the client still
Screen Resolution
Hello there, I'm new to Zoho, actually I just installed the trial version today... I ran some tests and I find the screen resolution a bit low, is there anyway I can increase the quality? I run a small graphic design company and sometimes I travel but still need to be able to access my work computer and do some work, but I need to see my full screen resolution in order to be able to design the best graphics possible. Please let me know, I'm currently a TeamViewer user and I'm planning on switching

Deploy Zoho Assist with Windows App
Hello, We're working on a Windows app and we'd like to deploy a remote support application together with it. The goal is to eliminate step where our end users have to open URL in browser to download ZA_Connect.exe because of internal security policies. Instead we'd like to add an option for the users to just press a button and our app would create support session and start embedded Zoho Assist. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Forward traffic to the root subdomain directly to /join
We recently upgraded to Zoho Assist Enterprise so that we could customize the users' experience when they're interacting with our support staff. We are hoping to be able to direct customers to our support site assist.mydomain.com without having to go to the additional step of typing "/join". Is there a way to set it up so we only need to tell customers to go to the root subdomain and not type the additional /join. Is this possible? Thanks!
Where do I start?
Where do I start? I'm a newbie guys!
Does Zoho assist have a native client for technicians instead of web app?
Does Zoho assist have a native client for technicians instead of web app? The reason I ask is because I want to use clipbopard, hotkjeys and other things. I noticed I need to use the hotkey meny to send shortcuts. I was hoping to send hotkeys just by focusing on the remote session. Is that possible?
Zoho Assist OTP
I am locked out of Zoho Assist because it requires a mobile number for an OTP, however my number has been used on another account. I don't have another number, meaning I am locked out of Assist. The message says it's for security, however I already have Zoho OneAuth and Google Authenticator enabled for 2FA. There is absolutely no need for yet another auth method. Please either disable this completely unnecessary request, or let me know which account has already used my mobile number.
Scheduled reboot
Can a scheduled reboot be done with assist? If not, can that be added to a feature request? Very usefull option to have.

File Transfer Dialog
Hi, Just an Idea or recommendation that will make Assist more easy to work with. When sending a file this dialog appears on the screen: If we need to change the location where the file is going to be copy and press 'Change Location" we get a dialog for that but behind this first dialog: We then need to move the file transfer dialog to be able to select the location. It would be less annoying and very nice that the File Location dialog appears on top and not behind the first dialog. I hope you can
Accessing remoting view of work pc rather than actual view
Hi, I'm looking for a solution. I have staff working at home remoting into their work pc's and I have zoho assist deployed to these machines. Is there a way I can use zoho assist to remote into the remoting session? Currently when I remote into the work pc's I can not see what my staff see. I am only looking at what I would see if I went into the office and switched on the work monitor. Thanks

Zoho Assist Down For Hours
Zoho realizes that Assist has been down for hours, despite their Twitter account insisting to everyone that it's working?
My Zoho Assist page just keep loading.

Grant Access to 1 machine for 2 users
We have an issue where 2 ZoHo Assist users need access to the same PC for a duration of time. (One user is training the other and both will need access to the one PC) In installing the free version, it wouldn't allow 2 users to have access to the same PC. Is there a way around that? I had to say it was OK for the installer to replace to prior person's email/account for the new person. Thank you
Users are experiencing a problem with the Unattended Access services in Zoho Assist
Some users are seeing a problem with connecting to Unattended Computers even though they are online. We are aware of the issue and are working on it urgently. The Remote Support services are up and accessible all across the globe, while we have an intermittent network issue with our primary Service Provider for Unattended Access. Due to this intermittent connection, some users may not be able to use the Unattended Access services. We have our tier 3 team and network team working with the Service
ManageEngine Vulnerability
I have a license/subscription to Zoho Assist and I received a notice there is a security vulnerability for ManageEngine per us-cert.gov. Does this vulnerability affect Zoho Assist or other Zoho applications? https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2020/03/06/zoho-releases-security-update-manageengine-desktop-central
Cheaper Plans
I am sure this has been mentioned before but i wish there were a few more plan options. IM just a home user interested in unattended access and i dont need 25 computers. I wish there was a $50 a year plan option that i would be able to justify. While the free plan does work for me there are some feature (like file transfer) that are really needed for myself. Thing is, $100 a year isnt really unreasonable but i only have 3 computers and i just cant justify that cost. I could justify about half that
Zoho freezing immediately after connecting to clients
Not sure why...but Zoho Assist is freezing immediately after connecting to clients. It seems to only happen to clients that are on a WiFi connection at their office. The wired PCs connect and do not freeze. UPDATE:: I closed all browser windows with Zoho and cleared my browser cache and that seems to have taken care of it. Strange that it only affected laptops on WiFi and strange that my cache would affect that at all.
File Transfer Entire Folder (Exceeds 40 files)
If this capability exists, please explain how to use it. If it does not exist are there plans to include it?
Free forever plan - number of technician installations?
I've decided to try Zoho Assist since other vendors offering similar services have issues when it comes to trusting that users truly are practicing personal use. With the Zoho Assist free plan, this shouldn't be a problem anymore. So, my basic setup is the need to remotely manage the number of computers that is well within the scope of the free plan (5 unattended computers). I know that there is only 1 technician possible in the free plan. My question is; is it possible to have multiple installations
Unattended Access on Linux = Grey/Black Screen
Hi Guys I am currently trialling ZohoAssist to provide remote support and remote user access to some of our office based PCs. Half of our workforce use Fedora Linux, and though I have succeeded installing the Linux ZohoAssist agent, and confirmed that the service is active, I am having difficulties. I see the machines in the ZA console and they show as online. I am also able to connect successfully, but once connected, all I see is a grey screen with the ZohoAssist blue bar on the left side of the
Assist - ActiveX Window
It would be nice to see the name of the connect device somewhere. Currently, the only place to see the name is in the taskbar when hovering over the assist application. It would also be nice to have to option to have the Assist window resize to the remote screen resolution or to be full (which is the current behavior) Even though there is an option to keep the toolbar always visible, there is no way to hide it. It's always visible regardless of the setting.
Extension for GPO deployment file ZohoAssistStartupScript.zip
It's not a big deal but at the same time it should be a quick fix. I used the link to download the "ZohoAssistStartupScript.zip" from the GPO deployment page but the file is downloaded and saved as "ZohoAssistStartupScript_Support" without the .zip extension, so whatever application is registered to handle .zip files is not associated with it and causes the application selection window to open asking for the application that should be used to open the file.
Allow file transfer window column sorting
It would be nice to be able to sort in the file list window. I wanted to sort by modification date and was surprised that you can't sort by any of the columns.
Can we add a meaningful note or name (like devices) to a temporary remote session that is visible in top left screen? You currently have this function for unattended access screen.
Like to use a custom entry like "Devices" in unattended access. Temporary sessions do not have custom or remote session screen just has number - would like to be able to name it something meaningful when we have multiple screen open and need to know who we are talking to.
Is there a Zoho Assist free forever version?
This web seems to suggest there's a free forever version: https://www.zoho.com/assist/pricing.html https://www.zoho.com/assist/plan-comparison.html However, when I installed and tested it, it's offering me to pay after the 15-day trial period and on my Zoho account, under subscriptions, it doesn't show what account type this is. I wonder also if the free version includes unattended access, the two webs above seem to contradict themselves. Is there a free version? Any help much welcome
