Screen-share with Support Using Splashtop SOS

Our support team uses a screen share tool called Splashtop SOS to troubleshoot specific issues like CSV upload or printer errors. This tool allows our agent's remote access to view the issue as you see it on your computer.

To use Spashtop to share your screen with our team:

  1. Open Splashtop SOS. Depending on your browser settings, the file will download immediately or prompt you to download.

  2. Open the file once downloaded to run the installer.

  3. Double-click the icon in the pop-up window to start the support session.

  4. Update your permission if prompted and allow Splashtop to reboot.

  5. Send the 9-digit code to the support agent.

    This lets them see your screen (for this session only), reproduce the issue, and check local settings.

Once the screen share has been completed, you can remove the Splashtop application from your device.

If you leave Splashtop installed, you can run the application for future support interactions. There is no need to redownload the installer.
