What LiveDesk does
One simple dashboard for the people who work on your office computers.
See who is working
Every person's computer shows as live, paused, off duty or offline, updated as it changes.
Watch live
Press Watch to see a computer's screen live. Employees accept a notice that says live viewing can happen at any time; you can also turn on an on-screen alert each time someone watches.
Last 15 days
Pick a day, open any hour and play it back, with active and idle time marked on the timeline.
Screenshots
A screenshot of the main screen about every 5 minutes, to skim an hour at a glance.
How it works
From sign-up to your first live view in five steps. Nobody is recorded until they have accepted the notice on their own computer.

Questions
What does LiveDesk record?
Video of each enrolled computer's main screen only, at about 5 frames per second, plus a screenshot about every 5 minutes and whether the computer is active, idle, paused or offline. There is no microphone or other audio, no webcam, no keystrokes or typed text, no clipboard, no browser history, no files and no location.
How long are recordings kept?
Recordings and screenshots are deleted automatically 15 days after they were captured. The limit is enforced by the database itself and cannot be raised above 15 days. When you remove a person, their recordings are deleted straight away.
Do employees know they are being recorded?
Yes. Before anything is recorded, each employee reads the recording notice on their computer and accepts it. The LiveDesk icon always shows when recording is on. The notice says the office may watch the screen live at any time, without a separate alert each time; an office can turn on an on-screen alert ("Your screen is being viewed") in its settings.
When does recording happen?
Only during the recording hours set for that person and approved by the office. Recording stops when the computer is locked, asleep, paused, or outside those hours.
Which computers are supported?
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and macOS 13 Ventura or later. On a Mac, the employee also has to allow screen recording in System Settings. Linux and Chromebooks are not supported.
How much does it cost?
Plans are priced by the number of people you add: up to 5, up to 10 or up to 20 people, billed monthly in Indian rupees. Prices exclude GST if applicable. See the pricing page for current prices.
