Use SmartLook screen share with QuickBooks Support experts

by Intuit•5• Updated 3 weeks ago

Learn how to use SmartLook to share your screen when you work with QuickBooks Support. 

SmartLook is a set of features that provide a more interactive support experience during a call. You can utilise the co-browse or screen share features when you're on the phone with our support team.

What is co-browse?

Co-browse allows QuickBooks support agents to view only pre-selected web browser windows on your computer and interact with the screen in real-time. Their access is limited only to what’s in the web browser and only the pages you want them to see. Support agents can't open browser tabs or view anything else on your computer.

What is desktop screen share?

Screen share allows support agents to see anything you have on your desktop during the session.
