Use a program remotely through a browser?

[xaviersykora]

Hello! There is a music writing program I use regularly, and there are many times throughout the day when I am not at home where I would like to work on a song. Is there any way I can set up a server sort of thing in which I could stream (not my entire desktop) the program to a web interface in which I could remotely access it? I am not super well versed in this sort of thing, but I am open to learning new things.

The easiest non advanced setup method is just TeamViewer into your computer. But as you don't want this you will need to go a much more advanced route to just send the Application/Browser Extension itself.

Chrome remote desktop is just a chrome extension that will let you control your PC. There's some delay and the quality is poor, but it works well and is free.

teamviewer *can* capture single windows, but its really dependant on how the UI is implemented.

 

other than that.. yeah... good luck.

Thanks everyone! I'm gonna be looking into Chrome Remote Desktop as it looks like the best option for my scenario.

i potentially have done slow paced games over teamviewer before. its not a light program at all, ut if you feed it enough resources it does really well.

 

i actually used to teamviewer home while doing stuff at school because the connection was iffy at best, and teamviewer could push a livestream <in horrid video and audio quality> together with whatever other stuff i was doing, over a connecttion that could barely push an online radio.
