<sup>*</sup> These remote desktop clients don't allow audio streaming. If you need audio streaming, we recommend using [Reemo](/tutorials/access-mac-mini-with-reemo/). You need to configure the connection with Reemo using a VNC connection. We recommend setting up another VNC connection and using this remote desktop client before configuring Reemo.
