How to ask for help using Skype

Question

I'm using Skype (latest version 2014). There's some problem with my computer so I want to ask for help.

How to give full access (view screen, control inputs) to my friend on Skype?

Solution

This is not possible with Skype. It only allows you to share your screen. You cannot give control over your desktop to others.

For alternatives, see:

• Remote management of parents' computers
• Free remote desktop app good for working with someone computer illiterate?
• Remote connection to a PC over internet
• and many others

Also, check out the comparison of remote desktop software on Wikipedia.

That's all very interesting but nothing in the question says the asker is using Windows.
