Business value

Prior to 2020 release wave 2, Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile was only available on ARCore-enabled Android devices and ARKit-enabled iOS devices; however, plenty of field technicians have mobile devices without support for ARCore and ARKit. Bringing support for these kind of platforms will allow them to work with and solve problems with remote collaborators.

Feature details

Dynamics 365 Remote Assist for devices not enabled for augmented reality will introduce modified functionality that can still be used in many environments. This feature includes the following capabilities for 2020 release wave 2:

  • Ability to use Dynamics 365 Remote Assist on mobile devices without augmented reality support.
  • Share your live video feed and provide instructions using 2D annotations on still images with the remote collaborator.
