    i am planning to go back to my country for couple months, and trying to access my work laptop which is gonna be at my house in NY USA,
    is this device gonna be helpful if connecting from other country and do the work in USA without my company knowing it?

    or if there's any other solution please let me know, thanks .

      Hi,
      TinyPilot can give you full control over the Laptop, "as if you where sitting at it". So in general "yes".
      But you have to take into account
      a.) Video picture you see will have a limited size ( 1920x1080 )
      b.) You have a latency of 200ms. So if you are planning to program "over internet with TinyPilot", it is not really perfect, if you type really slow it might work :-)

      Other than that, TinyPilot could be the solution, if you plan doing things like "checking things on the laptop", ... it really depends on what you plan to do. Don't hesitate to tell me more, and I can give a more detailed answer.,

      thanks

          Thanks much for your reply,

          a) screen size i can manage that, at least its better than nothing, but
          b) when it comes to latency, i am basically a sys admin, mostly on daily basis i use Linux, kubernetes, Jenkins, gerrit to maintain the servers, and join Meetings on MSTeams, little bit latency should be fine, but if its something huge then definitely its gonna be a deal breaker,
          am glad you brought these points up. do you think with my type of job it will be not so difficult to access or use this device?

          Thanks much for your time.

            Hi,
            according to b). TinyPilot is done for sysadmin work. so thins should not be a problem. But I do not understand how/why you could use TinyPilot for teams. My assumption:
            Remote Laptop, connected to TinyPilot. This Laptop is doing the teams session. You connect to TinyPilot from "wherever" in the world and would like to work on the teams version with video and audio call. Right?
            If this is your plan, this won't work, as there is no audio "transfer" from the machine you are using to TinyPilot. It is like a TV, where you hear the sound from remote, but you still cannot talk to the people "in TV".

            I personally would always do things like teams in the most direct way, which is a VPN IMHO in this case.

            thanks

                Hi,

                You're correct, the plan is to work from anywhere in the world with audio Only (No video required), For applications like Teams that require audio and video, a direct connection via VPN would indeed be the most efficient solution.

                Best,

                          Hi @Zantosh
                          If you have figured out the Audio (mic over IP) and/or Video Cam (over IP) please do let me know, I would like to connect with you.
                          I have been researching for solutions to these, but havent found any reliable/working solution.

                          Thanks,

                              The only solution I could think of is to install Teams on your phone. Connect the Phone Directly to the Travel Router with VPN. Get a reliable VPN connection to jump Server in your USA City. Connect your phone directly to the Travel router with a VPN and now u will have Video and Audio

                                  Thanks. I don't fully understand this. I would be happy if you can elaborate further.

                                  I basically can't login to my company teams account via my personal phone, my company's IT will not allow it. So, how can I do this?

                                  I really need urgent help

                                      Boss u will need to use a Travel router if your company doesn’t allow teams on Phone. The other thing u can do is to subscribe a EC2 Virtual machine in AWS..

                                      Connect your laptop directly to Travel router client and connect to the VPN router server in USA or to one of the jump servers in USA to get a USbased Ip

                                    Thank you very much Raj for replying me.

                                    I'm not so much of a technical person so I don't fully understand how to do this.

                                    I have a few points of note. My system is highly securitized, so it's impossible to install Amazon EC2 on it without the IT detecting.

                                    I can install an expressVPN over my router to filter my address, but I still can't connect to teams on my personal device cause IT policy doesn't allow you to open a Microsoft account on any personal device that is not for the company.

                                        Sorry to say this but you can install Teams without your IT's permission. They dont allow/let you install apps on personal device. I have faced this. The only solution to use teams is directly on the laptop.
