HelpWire Client Application

A personal client app link that the client receives from their Operator allows the client to download the HelpWire Client application. It is required to allow the Operator to establish a secure remote support session with the client.

 

The download starts automatically once the client follows the link.

Downloading the HelpWire Client application

When downloaded, the client should double-click the downloaded file to open the application.

Upon opening the app, the client’s workstation gets identified on the Operator’s side and is ready to receive the remote access request.

The client’s remote screen icon appears in Operator’s HelpWire web account

While waiting for the Operator to send an access request, the client can communicate with the Operator via the built-in chat.
