One of the biggest things to come to NVDA in some time & the highlight of NVDA 2025.1 is NVDA Remote Access! In this blog post, we look at just what this feature is, how you can use it, add-ons which do similar things & answer other questions you might have: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…

Do you use NVDA Remote Access? Or is there another 2025.1 feature you're really looking forward to? Do let us know!

Hi. Now that remote is part of nvda, I think it would be more reliable, if there was an official host from nvaccess and it should be included in the user's guide. Now only nvdaremote.com is given as an example there.

@nikosdemetriou Good idea. Also, as I have said on GitHub I'd like to see information on how to use NVDA Remote to control a computer on your local network without using a relay server.

@KaraLG84 @nikosdemetriou Thank you both. NVDA Remote definitely still has lots of improvements ahead of it. Our first intention was to ensure it provided a comparable level of operability to the add-on (with which it is compatible btw), but we definitely have more development planned for NVDA 2025.2 and beyond.

@KaraLG84 Whoops, thank you! You are my best proof reader! (heaps better than me, that's for sure) - would you believe, I rewrote it and decided to give you most of both options?

It's likely impossible due to reasons, but would be absolutely fantastic if a remote configuration could carry over to the 2025 update, whilst disabling the addon.
IE: If I'm updating a system I have no physical access to, if it could import my remote settings and reconnect seamlessly, would solve a few issues.

@FreakyFwoof Pretty sure those values are just in a .ini somewhere so it SHOULD be relatively trivial to migrate those provided the updater gives that kind of control...

@zersiax @FreakyFwoof It SHOULD actually carry over - although note that Remote will still be disabled by default, so you'll need to enable it.

@FreakyFwoof Shouldn't "carry over" mean that IF a currently active Remote is detected, it should also just enable it on the internal side on update to not interrupt a bunch of people's setups?
