Using Chrome Remote Desktop when user not logged on

I recently switched from a iMac running OS7 to a Mac Mini with the M1 chip. On my iMac, I was able to leave the Mac on with no users logged on and I could access it from another computer (Mac or PC) using Chrome Remote Desktop. Now that I have the Mac Mini with the M1 chip, when the Mac is on with no one logged on, it appears as offline within Chrome Remote Desktop. When I log onto the Mac mini, then it appears as online within CRD and I can remote onto it. This Mac has multiple users, so I can't leave it logged in as one user all the time to be able to access it remotely. I want to be able to access it using CRD, then log in with my credentials like I used to do on the iMac. Is there a setting that needs to be changed to allow this? I have tried everything I can think of to allow me to do this.

Appreciate the reply, but I wasn't looking for an opinion on Google products. If the capability isn't possible, then that is a different story.
