Best Software to control another Mac (like Teamviewer)

[nantucket66]

My parents are new to Mac and as such they are having fun(!) getting used to all of the differences between windows and osx. They've had their Macbook Air a little while now and when they get stuck I used to jump on with Teamviewer to show them what to do (they live 40 minutes away so that is quick and easy).

Cue phonecall the other day, I go to use Teamviewer (for the first time in a couple of months) and it seems I couldn't get it to do anything on my Mac and as I'm a TalkTalk customer I can't even get on their website anymore.

Can anyone recommend some similar software I can put on both machines please?

I see my parents a couple of times a week so it's easy to jump on when I'm there, but inevitably I'll get a phone call at 10pm asking me to do a little favour for them.....

Cheers

I use Chrome Remote desktop and it's very good. I think you'd need to be signed into your own Google account on both machines however.

Sounds good to me, quite happy to have my parents sign in using my google account on their machine for the odd time I need to use it.
