How do I use Remote Sound?
The Remote Sound feature allows users to enjoy one-way sound from their host computers to their client devices like your client computer or mobile devices. Adjustments to your in-session sound settings can be made directly from the Viewer window or in your GoToMyPC preferences.
This feature is not available for Mac computers. To modify your sound preferences:
- From the Sound tab, modify your sound settings as desired and click OK.
