What’s your favorite way to get started on a new challenge? Are you a dive in and get your hands dirty kind of person? Do you prefer to watch and learn? Are you someone who seeks out the experts? When it comes to learning new skills, there’s really no wrong way to go about it as long as you come out on the other side knowing what to do.

Learning new software is much the same. You can try it out and learn as you go. You can watch a demo. You can venture into the many online forums to consult others. Ultimately, how you go about understanding the functionality is up to you.

Whether you’re just diving into ConnectWise Control® for the first time, or you’ve been using it since the ScreenConnect days, we’ve got something for every type of learner when it comes to understanding the ins and outs of this solution.

Let’s review some of our favorite ways you can get up to speed and stay in-the-know.

The answers to your burning questions are all here.

Video library

For our visual learners, we have a fully stocked video library that currently contains over 50 recordings that cover everything from building your first access installer to new release overviews and everything in between. Organized into topic-based playlists, you can find a video for a specific function or leave it on auto-play. We’re constantly adding new video content, so be sure to check back on a regular basis.
