Remote control lets you message Arro from Discord or Telegram when you're away from your computer. Arro does the work on your computer and answers in the chat. Remote control is available on every plan. Arro answers only while your computer is on and the Audimate desktop app is open on it, signed in, with Arro turned on. It works in the workspace open in the app. ## Connect Discord **1. Start in Audimate** From **Settings → Your account → Remote control**, select **Connect** next to Discord. Discord opens its sign-in page. **2. Sign in to Discord** Sign in and add Audimate to your account. A page opens that says **Finish in Discord**. **3. Use /arro once** In Discord, type `/arro` with any message. Arro replies with a prompt that names your Audimate account, instead of answering. **4. Confirm in Discord** Select **Connect**. Arro asks you to approve the account in Audimate. **5. Approve in Audimate** In **Remote control**, your Discord account shows **wants to connect**. Select **Approve**, then send your request again with `/arro`. ## Connect Telegram **1. Start in Audimate** From **Settings → Your account → Remote control**, select **Connect** next to Telegram. A QR code appears. **2. Start the bot** Scan the code with your phone, or select **Open Telegram on this computer** if the Telegram app is installed there. Select **Start**. The bot sends a prompt that names your Audimate account. **3. Confirm in Telegram** Select **Connect**. The bot asks you to approve the account in Audimate. **4. Approve in Audimate** In **Remote control**, your Telegram account shows **wants to connect**. Select **Approve**. The bot sends **Connected**. Only select **Connect** in a chat app for a request you started from your own Remote control page. If the account it names is not yours, select **Cancel**. In Remote control, only approve an account you recognize; select **Decline** for any other. ## Ask Arro | App | How you ask | Who sees the answer | Follow up | | - | - | - | - | | Discord | `/arro` and what you need, in any chat | Only you | Select **Reply** under the answer | | Telegram | A message to the bot in a direct chat | Your direct chat with the bot | Send another message | In a Telegram group, the bot asks you to message it directly instead of answering. Your requests and Arro's answers pass through Discord or Telegram. Telegram keeps the answers in your chat history. Discord answers disappear when Discord reloads. ## What Arro does from a chat app Arro handles the request as if you had typed it on your computer, with its voice off. The request and Arro's answer also appear in Home's chat, marked **From Telegram** or **From Discord**. Arro can answer questions, start tasks, and work in your workspace and your apps. When a task, picture or track it started finishes or needs you, Arro tells you in the same chat: in Telegram for up to 24 hours, in Discord for 15 minutes. After that, it appears only in Home's chat, without speaking. Signing in, changing Arro's settings, setting up a plugin, opening a file outside the folders Arro can reach, and approving a background task's step all need you at the computer. When a [plugin](/concepts/plugins.md#ask-arro-directly) action Arro takes for your request needs your approval, Arro asks in the chat. Reply to allow or deny it, or answer its card at the computer. **Always allow** still takes a click there. Arro answers in text only. Files it makes, like pictures, music and a task's files, are not sent to the chat app. They stay on your computer, in Home's chat and in Creations. A request from a chat app counts toward your monthly usage like any other request to Arro. ## When Arro can't answer | What you see | What to do | | - | - | | **Your computer is off, or Audimate isn't open on it** | Open Audimate, then send it again | | **Arro is turned off on your computer** | Turn Arro on, then send it again | | **Audimate on your computer is signed out** | Sign in, then send it again | | **Arro is still starting on your computer** | Send it again in a moment | | **Arro already has a few of your messages to get through** | Send it again after Arro answers | | **Your computer went offline before Arro finished** | Send it again once it's back online | | **Arro stopped on your computer before it finished** | Arro was interrupted there. Send it again | | **Arro is still working on this on your computer** | The answer will be in Home's chat | ## If connecting doesn't finish Open the chat app within 10 minutes of selecting **Connect** in Remote control. Then select **Connect** in the chat app within an hour, and approve the account in Remote control within an hour after that. | What you see | What to do | | - | - | | **That connect link expired**, or **That request has expired** | Select **Connect** in Remote control again | | **Discord wasn't connected**, or **Couldn't connect Discord** | Select **Connect** in Remote control again | | **Use /arro in Discord, then select Connect to finish** | Type `/arro` with any message in Discord | | **Select Connect in Telegram to finish** | Select **Connect** in the bot's prompt | | **Connect your Discord account to Audimate first** | Connect it from Remote control | | **Connect your Audimate account first** | Connect it from Remote control | ## Disconnect **Disconnect** in Remote control stops Arro answering that account, including requests it is still working on. You can connect it again at any time. To use a different account, disconnect the current one, then connect the new one. ## Related > **[Arro](/concepts/arro.md)** > > What Arro is and what it can do. > **[Usage](/account/usage.md)** > > How requests to Arro count toward your plan.
