Troubleshooting remote sessions
Unable to connect to a remote session
In certain cases, the end-user may not be able to connect to the remote session for one of the following reasons:
- The end-user experiences network connection issues.
In this case, you can resend the support session's link to the user. In ConnectWise, you can find the Session link in the LogMeIn Resolve pod.
- The agent closes the session before the end-user can join.
The agent can create a new session link and send it to the end-user.
Frequently Asked Questions

Select the ticket in ConnectWise that you want to work with. In the
LogMeIn Resolve pod, select
Jump to session.
- I lost connection to my end-user. How do we reconnect?
- If there is a network issue and your end-user disconnects, you can resend the session link to the end-user. In ConnectWise, you can find the Session link in the LogMeIn Resolve pod.
- Is there a difference between ending my session from ConnectWise and doing it from the LogMeIn Resolve Console?

- I have custom information that I need to fill in when creating a time entry. How can I do that?
