Good video, but actually in case no one else mentioned it, the easiest way to find your internal IP is simply 'hostname -I' (without the quotes and that's a capital I as in 'eye'). It's easiest because it shows ONLY your IP, so you don't have to sort through the other stuff. Liked and subbed.
Thanks for the tutorial Caroline...leaning much from your content. I don't know if things have changed...but I found that opening up the VNC Connect app on the pi desktop after enabling it and rebooting, also revealed my internal IP and other connectivity information.
VNC is very useful I use it all the time. Incidentally, if you sign up for a real VNC account it is free for up to 5 devices. Then you can access the pi from anywhere, even android and iPhone with the VNC app.
This was helpful but I have some feedback. You fly through the menu in Raspi-config and either the menus have changed or you're not starting at the same place so we may not be seeing what you see when I follow you step by step - I literally backed up a few times to see that your menu options aren't the same as mine. When we first turn on VNC on the Pi 4. Additionally, it runs an install, not flash back to the menu like you showed. You may want to slow it down and give just a bit more information instead of flying through the interface and explain what that actually does overall, not just to the VNC experience.
This is exactly what I needed Caroline! I have used SSH but I prefer desktop control after 35 years! It was not difficult and your instructions were easy to follow. However, the VNC viewer comes up, but it looks like an old 16 color display. I can run everything, but it is not visually pleasant with missing edges to buttons and windows. I don't see any settings for that.
In VNC Viewer, right click on the raspberry pi, select 'properties' then the 'options' tab. There you will find a setting to change the picture quality. Hope that helps!
Caroline I just want to say it’s ALL YOUR FAULT! My journey into pi world, that is. I hadn’t seen one of these things until I saw one of your videos about MyMedia. Now I have 3 pi.
Love your tutorials they’re excellent! A tip for finding your pi IP address from the raspbian desktop. Hover the mouse over the connection icon near the clock it will show you
Ifconfig only showing eth0 and lo. There is no Wlan0. There is a problem showing No wireless interfaces. Tried many things. Still didnt working. Because of this, cant connect using wifi.
When I try to connect my Pi to VNC viewer I keep getting an error saying I need to select my encryption parameter to a weaker level or update VNC server. Nothing I've tried worked though
hi madam i have some doubt if i am using 4G SIM hat module in Raspberry pi and over the internet if i want to take remote connection how we can able to do that ????? please help

Hello Caroline!! I am your fan!! Excellent tutorial!! One question? I recently installed in my Raspberry Pi 4 Ubuntu Mate and I found Remmina Remote Desktop Client and installed it. But, I have not able to connect to my Windows 10 PC using VNC Viewer. Would please explain how to do it?
Hi Caroline, great video, I went through all the steps... but once I have enabled the VNC on my Pi the button on top of the screen shows a red marker as an alarm on the VNC button... the error is then "private key is defect". Can you explain how to solve that? Via ssh its working Thanks...
Thank you very much for making this video, it worked with my iMac & Raspberry Pi. I spent a solid 3 days getting driven mad trying other methods. As others have said hostname -I (-eye) gets the IP address and make sure to use sudo raspi-config as Caroline says, do not rely on changing the settings in preferences on the Pi
My VNC connection to the PI is very slow and sluggish, I'm not overloading the PI CPU at all, I'm using a 2.4ghz wifi network, how can I make it run smoother ?
Hi Caroline - thanks for your video - you did not cover the install procedure for Windows after you finished with the install on your MAC. Is there any difference ? Also, does access to the Internet have to be 'on' for the RealVNC to allow remote access into the RPi ? Thank-you
Ridiculous how many times I had to look through multiple sites to find the information you give at the very end of this video. Lol. Its pointless to set up a vnc if you have to recheck every time you reboot. Might as well have a monitor hooked up. Seriously, thanks!
so I noticed this app works when you are on the same subnet, but when you are trying to connect from a different subnet, even when you have IP connectivity, it doesn't work? any ideas? seems like it needs to be in the same broadcast domain
Hello Caroline, thank you for this video, but unfortunately, I have an issue with not being able to connect. I set up VNC Server on my Pi 4, and VNC Viewer on my Win10 laptop.. I can see my Pi 4 in the laptop Server window, but I cannot select it. The menu says select the computer to view it, but I cannot select anything on the screen (except to edit the name itself). Also, I never got the box to enter the IP address of my Pi 4. Is that different on Windows than the Mac? Thanks again, Marc
I have updated this video for 2024 and Raspberry Pi 5 - ruclips.net/video/PJqTRuxkL1Q/видео.html

heros dont wear capes!!!
great tip thank you...also, add a space between hostname and the dash
Thanks
@@tobi827 Yes because they wear their dirty smelly underwear over their cheap tights! LOL
Not working
This was really helpful. Now I can successfully run the raspberry pi from my laptop in the comfort of my blanket.
Person after my own heart. Ty
The only one that actually worked for me. Thanks!
Hi from the UK. Excellent video, clear and concise. Well done. Subscribed !
Helpful. A couple things have on the config menu, but easy enough to figure out. Thanks!
Thank you for showing this simple procedure.
Thanks for the ONLY accurate and complete instruction I could find on how to connect my Mac to my Pi! Thanks!!
Simple to follow guide, thanks! Never used VNC before.
Thank you! Easy and straight to the point!

Thaanks!! greetings from Bolivia!
Great things, thank! Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi while doing this!

Absolutely the besttttttt! Thank you so much
thank you!!! I did it!!
Fantastic video! Some menus have changed in raspi-config but this video is great after wasting time trying to set up xrdp connections.
Thanks I was stuck at screen resolution 😅
Thank you!!! You are awesome
Thank you for this. Surely no need for VNC viewer on the Mac, just use Screen Sharing?
Caroline I just want to say it’s ALL YOUR FAULT! My journey into pi world, that is. I hadn’t seen one of these things until I saw one of your videos about MyMedia. Now I have 3 pi.
Your video was very helpful. Sometimes, SSH just isn't enough.
Hello Caroline . very good tutorial. but please explain how to reserve IP? where to log in to get this screen?
2023, the conf has changed, please make a video , how to enable vnc through ssh, thanks

Here's the VNC link in case someone's too lazy to type it!
thanks ur amazing

nice thank you!
thanks you so much
Hi i have raspberry pi lite there is no screen resolution selection any idea ,many thanks
Hi, vnc resolution selection is now in raspi-config->Display Options->D5 VNC Resolution
I can do this from myown network which is great in itself - but what if I am away from home?
Ifconfig only showing eth0 and lo. There is no Wlan0. There is a problem showing No wireless interfaces. Tried many things. Still didnt working. Because of this, cant connect using wifi.
When I try to connect my Pi to VNC viewer I keep getting an error saying I need to select my encryption parameter to a weaker level or update VNC server. Nothing I've tried worked though
Great tutorial and beautiful explanation!
I am getting an error that says: "Cannot currently show the desktop"
hi madam
i have some doubt if i am using 4G SIM hat module in Raspberry pi and over the internet if i want to take remote connection how we can able to do that ????? please help
can we remotely access the raspberry pi outside of the network? For example, my pi is in NY, but i want to access it from Texas.
This works only if Raspberry and the computer are in the same network, not by Internet, right?
Thanks Caroline, I'm going to try this on my Magic Mirror

That was very helpful I am up and running with a raspberry pi and I knew nothing about VNC eight minutes 40 seconds ago.
for some reason, wth VNC Enable... my VNC client on the same network cannont find my pi.
Can you please show a version of this using an ipad?
so my vnc is missing :( I have a pi 3 that I installed Kali Linux on. I was able to get into the pi config menu
thank u omg i had 2 days and 5 flashes i did because i forgot pw or host/username w/e
Hello Caroline!! I am your fan!! Excellent tutorial!! One question? I recently installed in my Raspberry Pi 4 Ubuntu Mate and I found Remmina Remote Desktop Client and installed it. But, I have not able to connect to my Windows 10 PC using VNC Viewer. Would please explain how to do it?
those who don't know the ip address,i could type the host name instead of ip,default host name is raspberrypi
Can anyone help me to make the ip address static it is not very clear in the video how to do it and where to find it. Thanks.
Maybe I'm a little late, but I get an error when trying to enable vnc. What do I do?
You’re a life saver God bless you
Does anyone know if this works if PC is ethernet connected and Pi is on Wifi?
if i set it to login with uxid (on pi) will i be able to enter password as pi password?
Thank you!
Worked in mine. Thanks a lot.
best and most simple explanation for beginners I found! Thank you for your Video!
This is the most helpful and clear way to do this. Thank you so much. Liked and Subscribed!
your a life saver
thanks, easy to follow instructions.

Thanks, no more back and forth, room to room.
Thanks Caroline, really useful :)
What is the maximum distance we put laptop with rpi4 using vnc services
Issue is that my rpi4 is attached with drone and fly it 100 meter
I’m trying to remote play to retropie, it didn’t give me a password option when I was setting it up. Do I leave it blank when I use vnc?
Thanx ma'am
Hi Caroline - thanks for your video - you did not cover the install procedure for Windows after you finished with the install on your MAC. Is there any difference ? Also, does access to the Internet have to be 'on' for the RealVNC to allow remote access into the RPi ? Thank-you
will this work in raspberry pi 3 ?
hey Caroline, I want to ask that can I use VNC viewer on my laptop even if I don't have raspberry pi monitor. But I have keyboard and mouse.
you are amazing Thank you!!!
actual interesting part starts at 2:30
1:21 start
thank you
Subtitles are wrong 😕
Nice clear video. I was having some issues getting VNC to work but this showed where I went wrong. Thanks so much :)
Where is raspberry pi store
Ridiculous how many times I had to look through multiple sites to find the information you give at the very end of this video. Lol. Its pointless to set up a vnc if you have to recheck every time you reboot. Might as well have a monitor hooked up. Seriously, thanks!
Is it possible to connect and control a Windows machine like this. Meaning without the whole account stuff they keep asking for when I tried.
so I noticed this app works when you are on the same subnet, but when you are trying to connect from a different subnet, even when you have IP connectivity, it doesn't work? any ideas? seems like it needs to be in the same broadcast domain
Very helpful and easy to follow c:
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much :)
I'm so glad!
Thanks a lot :)
Hello Caroline, thank you for this video, but unfortunately, I have an issue with not being able to connect.
I set up VNC Server on my Pi 4, and VNC Viewer on my Win10 laptop.. I can see my Pi 4 in the laptop Server window, but I cannot select it. The menu says select the computer to view it, but I cannot select anything on the screen (except to edit the name itself).
Also, I never got the box to enter the IP address of my Pi 4. Is that different on Windows than the Mac?
Thanks again,

Thanks for your video. VNC also works on Linux, not just Windows or Mac
thank you
Starts at 2:30
thnkq mis
Is VNC by any means better than Windows Remote Desktop?
do we have to use the same network to connect to the pi? Excellent video by the way.
Virus total flagged vncviewer exe as having exploite.shellcode.hpw 🤔
very easy to follow. Nice vid! :)
wow
i am getting error "time out" on vnc viewer please guide
Thank you very much, brilliant video.
