Zoho Lens is an AR-powered remote assistance application developed by Zoho Corporation — one of the world's largest privately held software companies, headquartered in Chennai, India. Zoho Lens transforms how field technicians, maintenance staff, and support teams resolve equipment issues: instead of describing what they see over the phone or sharing a computer screen, the technician points their smartphone at the equipment — and the remote expert sees the exact same live view, with the ability to overlay AR (augmented reality) annotations directly onto the video feed. Arrows, circles, highlights, and step-by-step instructions appear in real time on the technician's screen, eliminating "move the camera left" confusion and dramatically reducing resolution time.
At its core, Zoho Lens bridges the gap between traditional remote support (which works for computers) and physical equipment troubleshooting. When a machine breaks down, a conveyor stops, or a device malfunctions, the on-site technician opens Zoho Lens, points the camera at the equipment, and connects to an expert. The expert sees the live view, draws annotations ("Press this button", "Remove this panel", "Check this connection"), and guides the technician through the fix — often without an on-site visit. Zoho Lens integrates with Zoho Assist for session management and recording, and with Zoho Desk for ticket-to-session linking — so every Lens session is traceable, recorded, and part of your support workflow.
Zoho Lens is ideal for field service (HVAC, appliances, industrial equipment), manufacturing (CNC machines, conveyor systems, packaging equipment), healthcare (medical device maintenance), and IT & telecom (network equipment, server racks). Pricing: Free (1 user) or Standard ₹840/user/month. As an Authorized Zoho Partner in India, PrecisionTech implements Zoho Lens with a strategic approach — designing AR annotation workflows for your use cases, configuring Zoho Assist and Zoho Desk integration, training technicians on hands-free mode and best practices, and integrating with Zoho FSM for field service work orders. 30+ years of IT experience. 200+ Lens deployments across India.
The technician points their smartphone at equipment — the remote expert sees the exact same live video feed in real time. No more "describe what you see" or "can you move the camera left?" — the expert sees the technician's perspective. The video is synchronised with minimal latency, enabling natural two-way guidance.
The expert draws directly onto the live camera view — arrows, circles, rectangles, highlights, and text labels appear in real time on the technician's screen. Annotations overlay the physical equipment, so the technician sees exactly where to look, what to press, and what to remove. Annotations can be updated or cleared during the session.
Zoho Lens is built to work with Zoho Assist — the session infrastructure, connection management, authentication, and recording are handled by Assist. Lens adds the AR layer. Session recordings include full video with annotations. Single sign-on, unified dashboard, and support link initiation from Assist.
Lens sessions can be initiated from Zoho Desk tickets — when a customer reports equipment issues, the support agent starts a Lens session from within the ticket. The session recording links back to the ticket automatically. Full ticket-to-session traceability for audit and training.
Every Lens session can be recorded — full video feed with AR annotations, optional audio. Recordings are retained (7 days on Free, unlimited on Standard) for training, quality assurance, compliance audits, and knowledge base creation. PrecisionTech configures retention policies and Desk attachment.
Technicians can mount the phone on a stand or wearable holder — hands-free mode lets them follow AR annotations while using both hands for repairs. Ideal for manufacturing and field service where technicians need to hold tools, remove panels, or adjust components while viewing expert guidance.
Zoho Lens runs on standard smartphones — iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android. No special hardware required. The technician uses the mobile app; the expert can use the web app (desktop) or mobile app. 4G or Wi-Fi connectivity is sufficient for most scenarios.
For field service organisations, Zoho Lens integrates with Zoho FSM — work orders can initiate Lens sessions, session recordings attach to work orders, and resolution time feeds into FSM metrics. End-to-end field service workflow from dispatch to resolution with full audit trail.
Zoho Lens is built on Zoho's enterprise security — TLS encryption for sessions, Zoho Assist authentication with optional 2FA, configurable recording retention, and India data centre options (IN1, IN2). SOC 2 compliant. PrecisionTech configures security policies during implementation.

★★★★★"PrecisionTech deployed Zoho Lens across our field service team in under 10 days. The AR annotations are game-changing — our remote experts can now draw arrows, circles, and step-by-step instructions directly onto the customer's live camera view. First-time fix rate improved from 62% to 89%. The Zoho Assist integration means every Lens session is logged as a support ticket automatically. Our technicians love the hands-free mode — they can point the phone at the equipment while following the expert's AR annotations on screen."
★★★★★"We migrated from traditional screen-sharing to Zoho Lens through PrecisionTech. The difference is night and day — our support engineers can now see exactly what the customer sees in their physical environment. AR annotations for "Press this button", "Check this LED", "Remove this panel" have reduced average resolution time by 40%. PrecisionTech configured the Zoho Desk integration so every Lens session creates a ticket with full session recording. Outstanding implementation for our medical device maintenance workflow."
★★★★★"PrecisionTech set up Zoho Lens for our manufacturing floor maintenance team. When equipment breaks down, our on-site technicians point their smartphone at the machine — our engineers at HQ see the live view and overlay AR annotations in real time. No more "Describe what you see" or "Can you move the camera left?" — the expert sees the exact perspective. We've cut downtime by 35% and reduced the need for on-site engineer visits by 60%. The Zoho FSM integration they configured ties Lens sessions to work orders automatically."
