About this tag
Session sharing in Windows Remote Desktop allows multiple users to interact with the same desktop session simultaneously. By default, when a remote user logs in via the built-in Remote Desktop tool, the local session is disconnected, preventing the local user from seeing remote actions. This behavior differs from third-party tools like TeamViewer, which support concurrent sessions. Users seeking session sharing often want to provide remote assistance without interrupting the local user's work or to use Remote Desktop for media center access where both local and remote users view the same desktop. Windows Remote Desktop does not natively support session sharing without additional configuration or third-party solutions.
