Dynamics 365 Remote Assist | Full User

Description

Dynamics 365 Remote Assist, a mixed reality application for Microsoft HoloLens, is licensed per user. It enables colleagues to collaborate during a video call using Microsoft Teams—a separate Microsoft product that provides videoconferencing, chat, calling, screen sharing, and other team collaboration tools. With the combination of Teams and Remote Assist, the expert can see everything that the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist user sees, and they can holographically draw and annotate together.

Note that Remote Assist users, such as frontline workers, field workers, or technicians, do not need a separate license for Microsoft Teams. They can make or receive calls using Remote Assist on HoloLens without a separate Microsoft Teams license. The expert they contact for remote assistance—who is often an expert at headquarters—does require a Teams license. Remote Assist requires a Microsoft HoloLens 1 or HoloLens 2 and an AR-capable iOS or Android device (phone or tablet).
