Training centers years just hand them all the time. Are used it as a contractor when I worked for freedom scientific and I use it now with Washington services for the blind when I need to repair someone’s computer. Sometimes I just have them put a demo of jobs on their computer and then I will have them press alt insert T and I give them a meeting ID and I can take over and fix things temporarily that way. Tandem center is free tandem direct is a whole different thing.
