Embedded Files
This guide details the use of Remote Desktop on a Windows computer
To access the download follow this link: https://bidefordcollege.org/remote-access/
This is also accessible from the Bideford College website, on the the external staff portal.
You will need to download the remote desktop file - this is a file you only need to download once and can reuse. Move this file somewhere you can easily access it, such as desktop or my documents.
Double click your downloaded shortcut to launch remote desktop.
On first launch you will get this pop up. Click the "don't ask me again" checkbox, then connect.
Enter Your login details - this is your email address and your usual password.
You should now see a windows desktop and be able to open programs such as SIMS and Outlook.
If you experience any sign in errors, please contact IT@Bidefordcollege.org
Please Note: if you are trying to access a remote meet/teams/Zoom call, do not use remote desktop. The remote desktop does not have access to your webcam and microphone.
