Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 5, 2026 by david-youn-lab Closed Apr 3, 2026
Summary
The Remote Control feature (/rc slash command and claude remote-control CLI command) is not accessible on my system, despite running a supported version (v2.1.69, above the stated v2.1.52 requirement).
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
- Claude Code version: 2.1.69
- Platform: x64
- Shell: bash (via Git Bash / MSYS2 on Windows)
- Subscription: Claude Max Plan (claude.ai subscription, OAuth-based authentication)
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Claude Code session in terminal
- Type
/rcor runclaude remote-controlin the terminal
Expected Behavior
- A QR code should appear in the terminal
- Scanning the QR code with the Claude mobile app should open a remote session
- I should be able to control my PC from my phone via the Claude app
Actual Behavior
The /rc command does not appear to be available or does not function as documented. The Remote Control feature is not accessible.
Additional Notes
- Subscription: Claude Max (claude.ai subscription)
- Authentication: OAuth token (
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN) - The feature was announced and documented at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control
- Reference: https://venturebeat.com/orchestration/anthropic-just-released-a-mobile-version-of-claude-code-called-remote
Request
Please advise on whether there are additional requirements (region availability, plan type, app version, etc.) that may be preventing access, or if this is a known issue on Windows with OAuth authentication.
