AnyDesk offers two main options to invite another AnyDesk user to connect with you.

1. Email invitation

2. Direct invitation (AnyDesk 7 and later)

Email invitation

In AnyDesk desktop clients prior to AnyDesk 7, you can generate an email template that opens in your default browser. The email template contains your AnyDesk ID or alias and a link to our website.

Before AnyDesk 7, this can be accessed through the “Email invitation” link found below your AnyDesk ID or through the context menu after right-clicking on your ID.

With AnyDesk 7 and later, this feature can be found by right-clicking on your AnyDesk ID and selecting “Invite via email…”. Users who receive this email can simply copy and paste this ID into their AnyDesk client and click “Connect” to send a connection request to your device.

Direct invitation

Starting from AnyDesk 7, we also offer the option to send direct invitations to other AnyDesk 7 and later clients. To initiate the process, simply click on the invitation icon to the right of your AnyDesk ID.

A message will then appear, prompting you to enter the AnyDesk ID/alias of the user who should connect with you, and to select which profile or permissions will be available for the connecting user. Naturally, these permissions can be changed during the session via the Accept window as long as the permissions have not been overridden by the client’s custom settings.

After sending the invitation to the user you wish to connect with, you will receive a notification in your AnyDesk client, as well as a notification-style popup window in the bottom-right corner of your main screen. In the notification, the user can view your AnyDesk ID and Alias and choose to accept or reject the connection.

During the time between sending the invitation and the user accepting or rejecting the invitation, you can edit or cancel the invitation.

Caution: The invitation has a time limit of 2 minutes.

After the user clicks “Connect” in the notification, they will automatically connect to your AnyDesk client with the permissions you selected in the invitation.

Alternatively, you can also right-click on a tile in Favorites, Recent Sessions, Discovery, or the Address Book and select “Invite” to initiate the session invitation.
