What's Wrong?

Hi Anthropic team,

I'm a Claude Pro subscriber and I'm unable to use the Remote Control feature
on Windows 11. When I run /remote-control, the terminal shows
"Remote Control connecting…" and never completes — no QR code or session URL
is displayed.

After enabling debug mode, I found the root cause in the logs:

"Environment registration failed: Bridge environments are not available
for this organization."

My environment:

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.68
  • Plan: Claude Pro (claude.ai subscription, not API key)
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Auth method: claude.ai OAuth, confirmed via /status

I already tried logging out and back in multiple times, updating to the latest
version, and fixing MCP server configurations — none of it resolved the issue.

I also noticed my .claude.json file contains
"cachedExtraUsageDisabledReason": "org_level_disabled", which might be related.

My account email is william.rp2@gmail.com. Could you please check if Remote
Control can be enabled for my account?

Thank you!

What Should Happen?

Running /remote-control should successfully register the environment and display a QR code or session URL in the terminal, allowing the user to connect Claude Code remotely from their mobile device or browser.

Error Messages/Logs

Environment registration failed: Bridge environments are not available for this organization.

Also found in .claude.json:
"cachedExtraUsageDisabledReason": "org_level_disabled"

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a Claude Pro subscription (claude.ai, not API key)
  2. Install Claude Code and authenticate via claude.ai OAuth (/status confirms auth method)
  3. Run /remote-control in the terminal
  4. Observe that the terminal shows "Remote Control connecting…" and never completes
  5. No QR code or session URL is displayed
  6. Enable debug mode and check logs — error message: "Environment registration failed: Bridge environments are not available for this organization."
