TeamViewer - program for creating remote access to PC

The first thing you need to download this wonderful utility. It is recommended to do this only from the official site, since by downloading files from other sources, you can also download a bunch of malicious programs. You should not put the system at risk and simply download the installer from the official website of the developer.

A huge advantage of TeamViewer is that this utility can be used for free. Provided that it will not be used for commercial purposes. What does it mean? This means that you cannot remotely log on to your home computer from a worker and vice versa.

Let's figure out how to install TeamViewer. After you launch the installation file, you will see a window in which you need to check the “Install” items in the “How do you want to continue?” And “personal / non-commercial use” items in the “How you want to use TeamViewer” section. Click on the “Accept - Complete” button to start the installation process.

After the utility is installed on your PC, a window with prompts will open so that you do not get confused about where it is. Having closed this window, you will be taken to the program itself.

Consider how to use TeamViewer. In fact, everything is very simple. There is the ID and password of your PC, and there is the same for the computer you want to remotely access. To connect to your friend's computer, you need to know the ID and password of his PC. Of course, that person must also install this application. After that, enter the necessary data in the "Manage Computer" section and connect.

You can do absolutely everything on a PC to which you are remotely connected, but keep in mind that another user can interrupt the session at any time. However, there is a function of blocking the input device of a remote machine, by activating which, you will deprive the owner of the ability to control his own PC using the keyboard and mouse. It is also very convenient that you can reboot a remote PC, and then continue with it further.

TeamViewer can also be used for fast data exchange. After selecting the appropriate item in the main application window, start file sharing. All you need is to move files and folders from one part of the window to another. On the left is your car, on the right is a remote one.

If you want to go to your PC, go to the "Connection" menu and select "Set up unmanaged access." Then enter the name and password, and then tick the item "I do not want to create an account ...". At the end, make sure to write down the ID and password that will appear on the screen. They will be permanent for each session.

To completely remove the utility, go to the Control Panel and open Add or Remove Programs. When run the uninstaller, do not forget to tick the item “Delete all settings”.
