You can enable it in ~/.codex/config.toml

[features]
remote_control = true

Doesn't work though. config.toml has been setup with remote_control = true. And it still doesn't show anything in Desktop App. I'm on Windows by the way. But my mac doesn't work either.

For anyone who is in the similar position, here is the work around: It should be remote_connections not remote_control at your local PC toml. (confirmed for mac & windows, at latest version of codex app)

[features] remote_connections = true

extent analysis

TL;DR

Enable the remote_connections feature in the config.toml file to resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • The issue is likely caused by a misconfigured feature flag in the config.toml file.
  • To fix the issue, update the config.toml file to include the correct feature flag: remote_connections = true.
  • Verify that the config.toml file is correctly formatted and located in the ~/.codex/ directory.
  • If issues persist, ensure that the latest version of the Codex app is being used.

Example

[features]
remote_connections = true

Notes

The provided workaround has been confirmed to work on both Mac and Windows platforms, and is applicable to the latest version of the Codex app.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by updating the config.toml file with the correct feature flag, as it has been confirmed to resolve the issue.
