Sending session invitation

Platform: Windows only

AnyDesk provides two main methods to invite another user to connect to your device:

1. Email invitation
2. Direct invitation (available in AnyDesk 7 and later)

Email invitation

In desktop-based clients prior to AnyDesk 7, you can generate an email template containing your AnyDesk ID or alias and a link to the AnyDesk website. This template opens in your default browser.

To access this feature:

• Click the Invitation Email link under your AnyDesk ID, or
• Right-click your AnyDesk ID and select the email option from the context menu.

In AnyDesk 7 and later, you can invite a user via email by:

• Right-clicking your AnyDesk ID and selecting Invite via email…

The recipient can copy the ID from the email into their AnyDesk client and click Connect to initiate a session request.

Direct invitation

Starting with AnyDesk 7, you can send direct invitations to other users using AnyDesk 7 or later.

To send a direct invitation:

1. Click the invitation icon next to your AnyDesk ID.
2. Enter the recipient’s AnyDesk ID or Alias.
3. Select the permission profile that will be applied during the session.

💡 NOTE

Permissions can be changed during the session using the Accept window, unless they are locked by custom client settings.

After sending the invitation:

• The recipient will receive a notification in their AnyDesk client and a pop-up notification in the bottom-right corner of their screen.
• The notification shows your AnyDesk ID and alias, and allows the recipient to Accept or Reject the request.

While the invitation is pending, you can modify or cancel it.

🚨 IMPORTANT

The invitation expires after 2 minutes.

If the user clicks Connect, the session will start automatically with the permissions you specified.

You can also initiate a session invitation by right-clicking a contact tile in Favorites, Recent Sessions, Discovery, or the Address Book, and selecting Invite.
