If the remote machine is running windows you will have an extra option for Windows logon. When you give someone full access, they literally have access to not only control your computer remotely, but they also have control to browse your hard drive remotely and send you files. You should also set up your access control if you don’t trust the people that you will be sharing your screen with. This will allow you to connect back to your computer even when no one is there to provide the session password. If you are setting up your own personal computer that you want access to from anywhere, then click on the security options and put in a password for unattended access.

Instead they can just know your TeamViewer username and connect using that. This will allow others to remotely connect to your computer without needing to know the 9 digit ID number. This is super helpful if you are not at your computer and need to provide support to someone.Īfter you have your online account set up you can then go into the full version options and set up your username, email, and password in the options. Once your account is set up, you can then log in to the TeamViewer homepage and access all your partners or establish a quick connection without needing any software installed. To create the username you can either go to TeamViewer’s homepage or you can also click the icon in the bottom right corner to show the partner list window and then click sign up. TeamViewer’s website will allow you to manage computers and people that you have set up as partners so you can quickly remote with them, share files, or just instant message. It isn’t required, but it is a good idea to also make a free account on the TeamViewer’s website.

Remote support, Presentation, and File Transfer are available on all operating systems. Note: Some options such as VPN and video chat are only available on Windows.
