Multi-Session

In this article, you’ll learn about multi-session in Chromaport.

Multi-Session in Chromaport allows multiple users or devices to connect to the same computer simultaneously, creating a shared, real-time environment.

Everyone sees the same screen and can interact with it.

It transforms a single machine into a shared, interactive space accessible by many users at once.

What this means:

With Multi-Session enabled, you can:

• Share your screen in real time with multiple participants
• Allow multiple users to interact simultaneously
• Join sessions from any device (laptop, tablet, secondary computer)
• Invite others instantly via session access
• Create shared experiences for work, learning, or entertainment

How Multi-Session works:

• A session is started on a selected machine
• Multiple users are invited or join the session
• All participants see the same environment in real time
• Users can: interact with the system, switch control dynamically

There is no need to duplicate environments or synchronize files — everything happens in one place.

How to enable Multi-Session:

• Go to a selected machine and click 'Edit'
• Check 'Multi-Session' checkbox
• Click 'Apply'
• Multi-Session is now enabled for this computer

Real-world examples

Co-op gaming in one session

• You launch a game on a powerful machine
• Friends join your session from different locations
• Everyone interacts in real time

A shared gameplay experience — without local installs.

Live spectating

• A player runs a game or application
• Others join as viewers
• They watch everything in real time, with high quality

Perfect for showcasing gameplay, demos, or presentations.

Team collaboration

• Multiple team members join the same workspace
• Work together on files, applications, or systems
• Switch control as needed

Real collaboration — not just screen sharing

Training & workshops

• An instructor starts a session
• Participants join and observe or interact
• Hands-on learning in a real environment

Learn by doing, not by watching slides.

Multi-device workflows

You connect from multiple devices at once
For example:

• Laptop for control
• Tablet for preview
• Secondary screen for monitoring

Flexible workflows across devices.

Remote support & troubleshooting

• A user needs help with a problem
• A technician joins their session
• Diagnoses and fixes the issue live

No instructions. No guessing. Immediate resolution.

Why Multi-Session matters

Traditional tools limit collaboration:

• Only one person can control the system
• Others are passive viewers
• Sessions are restricted to one-to-one connections

Multi-Session removes these limitations by enabling many-to-one, real-time interaction within a single environment.

Key benefits

Multi-user interaction

• Multiple participants in one session
• Active collaboration instead of passive viewing

Real-time synchronization

• Everyone sees updates instantly
• No delays or refresh cycles

Access from anywhere

• Join sessions globally
• No physical proximity required

One environment, no duplication

• No need to send files or replicate setups
• Single source of truth

Common use cases

• Co-op gaming sessions
• Live spectating and demos
• Team collaboration on shared workspaces
• Training sessions and onboarding
• Accessing the same machine from multiple devices
• Remote support and IT assistance

Multi-session reflects real-world collaboration — like multiple people using the same machine at once.

This expands a single machine into a shared, interactive environment:

Multiple users. One system. Real-time interaction — without limits.
