Initiating a Remote Control Session by Launching a Third-Party Remote Control Tool

Service Center can be configured to launch one additional third-party remote control tool. This additional option appears either as the application name, or as "Other" in the Remote Service list, and in the Remote Control shortcut menu. This additional option is added to Service Center in System Settings. For more information, see Configuring the "Other" Remote Control Application.
