Claude Code Remote Control just got a major upgrade β you can now start brand new sessions directly from your phone, not just pick up ones you already started at your desk.
The problem? Anthropic didn't document how to set this up, and the button to create new sessions is grayed out for most people. In this video I show you exactly what's missing and how to fix it in under 2 minutes.
I'll walk you through why the new session button is grayed out, the one command you need to run to unlock it, the GitHub requirement they forgot to mention, and the new remote slash command support that also shipped recently.
