ScreenConnect is a remote support application installed on all Rapid Access kiosks. It allows the Rapid team to log in and provide remote support when needed.
On some occasions, ScreenConnect may have trouble connecting due to local network restrictions or other technical reasons. Checking the ScreenConnect status helps our team identify why they cannot access the device.
