If you and your colleagues use AnyDesk, then you already know how useful it can be to access each other’s computers during work hours. As convenient as this feature is, when you’re done working, you don’t want anyone snooping around your personal computer. That’s why AnyDesk gives you the option to quickly end the connection, which will revoke your team’s access to your computer.
In this guide, we will show you how to end a connection in AnyDesk. Additionally, we will cover the process of downloading and setting up AnyDesk, as well as explaining its basic features.
Please note that AnyDesk only works for authorized remote access, which naturally means you can’t access just any computer. In other words, not only your computer needs to have AnyDesk installed, but also the devices you want to access.
How to end the connection
We’ll show you how to start and end a connection in AnyDesk, as both only require a couple of quick steps. First, let’s look at how you would connect your computer to a new device using AnyDesk.
- Open AnyDesk on your desktop.
- Ask your colleague or team member to send their AnyDesk ID.
- Copy the ID.
- Paste the box under “Remote Desktop” into your main window.
- Wait for them to accept your request.
If you want someone else to access your device, copy your ID in the top left corner of the screen and send it to them. When they try to access your device, a pop-up window will appear. All you need to do is click the “OK” button.
When it’s time to end the session, there are three ways to end the connection:
- Click the “Disconnect” button in the other device’s window.
- Close the remote device tab.
- Close the AnyDesk application.
