## 💡 Tip: Control Your CLI Session from Web or Mobile
559+
560+
GitHub Copilot CLI now supports **remote sessions** (currently in public preview), letting you monitor and interact with a running CLI session from a web browser or the GitHub Mobile app — without being physically at your terminal.
561+
562+
Start a remote session with the `--remote` flag:
563+
564+
```bash
565+
copilot --remote
566+
```
567+
568+
Copilot CLI will display a link and a QR code. Open the link on your phone or another browser tab to watch the session in real time, send follow-up prompts, review plans, and steer the agent — all remotely.
569+
570+
You can also enable remote access from inside an active session at any time:
571+
572+
```
573+
> /remote
574+
```
575+
576+
**Why is this useful?**
577+
578+
- Kick off a long-running refactor from your laptop, then check progress from your phone
579+
- Start a session at your desk and continue it from a different device
580+
- Share a read-only view with a colleague for async review
581+
582+
> 🔒 **Your session is private**: only you can see or control it, even if someone else has the URL.
583+
584+
> ⚠️ **Public preview**: remote sessions are available in Copilot CLI 1.0.24 and later. Run `/update` to make sure you have the latest version. Organization admins may need to enable the feature for Copilot Business or Enterprise accounts. See the [announcement](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-13-remote-control-cli-sessions-on-web-and-mobile-in-public-preview/) for details.
