VNC Viewer, now also called RealVNC Viewer, is a client program from RealVNC designed to work with one or more remote computers running VNC Server. The application is easy to set up and operate. It transmits mouse movements, keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts to the remote computer, and displays the remote desktop on your device screen so you can work with it as if you were sitting in front of it.
You can connect directly by entering the VNC Server IP address or hostname, or sign in to a RealVNC account to see team computers in the address book and connect through the cloud. VNC Viewer is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Raspberry Pi, and it can control computers running Windows, Mac and Linux. Sessions are encrypted, and the viewer supports file transfer, remote printing and chat. The viewer is free to download; connections to licensed RealVNC Servers only need a free account, while connections to third-party VNC servers require a paid plan.
VNC Viewer allows you to remotely access and control another computer, making remote work and IT support easier.
PROS
Features real-time screen sharing with intuitive interactive controls.
Encrypted connections keep remote sessions private.
CONS
Can be slow and laggy, especially over low-bandwidth connections.
Third-party VNC servers require a paid plan.
