Google announced Thursday, May 2 that it is rolling out a Hangouts remote desktop, which is powered by the same technology as the Chrome Remote Desktop. The feature lets users video chat while troubleshooting, CNET reports.

"Hangouts Remote Desktop lets users help others by controlling their computer remotely (with their permission, of course)," Google software engineer Daniel Caiafa wrote in a blog post. "And because you're both in a Hangout, you can talk with and see each other during the session."
