Step 2 — Sign in to the Splashtop Business app
- Open the Splashtop Business app you just installed.
- Sign in with your Splashtop account using your work email address.
- If this is your first time:
- Use the invitation email to set your password, or click Forgot your password? and enter your work email.
- Complete Splashtop’s built-in two-factor authentication (2FA) if prompted.
- Device verification: On a new computer, Splashtop sends a verification email with a confirmation link. Open the email and click the link to approve this device.
Step 3 — Connect to your work desktop
- Your work desktop should appear under Computers (the Splashtop Streamer is deployed by IT).
- Double-click your desktop to connect.
-
If Splashtop shows an “Enter credentials” prompt before connecting:
- Username: your work username or email address.
- Password: your work account password.
- Click the small arrow to reveal hidden fields.
- Domain: enter the domain provided by your IT team (if required).
- Optional: check Save credentials so you won’t need to re-enter next time.
- When the remote session shows the Windows sign-in screen, sign in with your standard work account using password authentication.
Good to know
- Leave your office PC powered on and connected. Lock it when you leave, rather than signing out.
- Saving credentials: In Splashtop’s “Enter credentials” dialog, expand hidden fields and enable Save credentials to streamline future connections.
- Multi-monitor: Use the Splashtop toolbar to switch displays or view all.
- Ctrl+Alt+Del: Splashtop toolbar → Actions → Ctrl+Alt+Del.
- File Transfer / Remote Print: Available from the toolbar if enabled by your IT team.
Troubleshooting
I didn’t get the Splashtop device verification email
- Check Inbox and Junk/Spam for an email from Splashtop.
- Click the link promptly; it expires after a short time. If it expired, sign in again to trigger a new email.
- If you still don’t receive it, contact your IT support team.
I don’t see my computer in the list
- Ensure your office PC is powered on, connected to the network, and not signed out.
- If it still doesn’t appear, the Streamer may not be assigned to you—contact your IT support team.
Splashtop keeps asking for Windows credentials
- In the “Enter credentials” box, click the arrow to reveal the hidden fields and ensure the Domain and Username are entered as instructed by IT.
- Enable Save credentials before connecting.
Audio, printing, or file transfer issues
- Use the Splashtop toolbar settings during a session.
- Reinstall the Splashtop Business app from this page to ensure you’re on the latest version.
