Using the agent

Table of contents
Once you first log in to your account, you are prompted to download, install, and connect the agent. It is a desktop app that runs in the background and makes it possible to launch browser profiles.
Note that without connecting the agent, you can still manage team members, groups, and browser profiles (create, clone, and move).
Stumbled upon an agent connection error? Learn about the possible reasons and solutions here.
Connecting the agent

- Click the downloaded file to open the installer
- On Windows, right-click the file and choose “Run as administrator”
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation
- Click “Connect agent” and wait while Multilogin downloads all components and establishes the connection (wait time can be longer with slower connection speeds)
