TeamViewer. How to use the program?

Those who often need to connect remotely to a home PC or provide computer help to friends often use applications for remote access. The article will describe how to use the program TeamViewer.

Do I pay for a license?

On the official website of the product, you can find information that you need to pay the developer to use it. It is because of this that many are trying to find the software distribution on third-party sites, torrents, file exchangers, which in no case can not be done. Such an approach can lead to infection of the computer with a virus or trojan.

The TeamViewer program is completely free, if the downloader undertakes to use it not for commercial purposes. This is suitable for most users. It is advisable not to connect to the office machine from home. If the application decides that you are using it for corporate work, the functional will be restricted.

Installation

Like almost any other application, TeamViewer needs to be downloaded and installed. To download the installer, go to the main page of the official resource.

Basic operating mode

After running the utility, you can immediately start controlling the remote PC. Naturally, the same version of TeamViewer should be installed on it. To connect, you need a unique remote machine number and password.

They are written in the left pane of the utility window. Accordingly, if you want to transfer control of your PC to someone, you should send data from the ID and password fields to the partner.

TeamViewer. How to use the opportunity to display the wallpaper

After you receive all the data and enter it, a window appears in the display that shows the desktop of the remote machine. The wallpaper will not be displayed on it. This is done in order to reduce the load on the network.

Of course, there is nothing to prevent the display of the background image. To do this, click on the "View" heading, located in the top panel of the utility, and then uncheck "Hide wallpaper".

Reboot the remote machine

It is often necessary to reboot the computer during PC setup. Often, the software requires a restart after such an operation. Restart the same remote machine without breaking the connection can be through TeamViewer. How do I use this feature?

Click on the "Actions", and in the menu that appears, click "Restart". After that, click on the text "Wait for the partner." When the remote PC restarts, "Computer boot" appears in the control window.

In addition to the normal restart, you can start the PC in safe mode with TeamViewer. How do I use this feature? You must complete all of the steps above, but on the Actions tab, select Restart in Safe Mode.
