185185* **`false`**: turn auto-connect off, though a `true` from [managed settings](/docs/en/managed-settings) outranks it, because Claude Code saves the choice to your user settings. A `false` in project or local settings (`.claude/settings.json`, `.claude/settings.local.json`) turns auto-connect off even over a managed `true`.
186186* **`default`**: clear your choice and follow your organization's admin default if one is set, otherwise Claude Code's current default.

190* **Desktop app**: **Settings > Claude Code > Connect new sessions to Remote Control**.
191190* **VS Code extension**: **Enable Remote Control for all sessions** in the [command menu's](/docs/en/vs-code#use-the-prompt-box) Settings section.
191* **Desktop app**: **Settings > Claude Code > Connect new sessions to Remote Control**. See [Control which sessions appear on your other devices](/docs/en/desktop#control-which-sessions-appear-on-your-other-devices).

193193To turn auto-connect on from a settings file instead, set [`remoteControlAtStartup`](/docs/en/settings-reference#remotecontrolatstartup) to `true` in your user `~/.claude/settings.json` or in [managed settings](/docs/en/managed-settings). In project or local settings (`.claude/settings.json`, `.claude/settings.local.json`), Claude Code honors a `false` and turns auto-connect off for that repository, but ignores a `true`, so a checked-in file can't turn on Remote Control for everyone who opens the repository.
