I remotely connected to a Windows computer through TeamViewer from my Mac. For some reason, I can’t change the input language. I tried Ctrl+Alt and Shift+Alt, but nothing happens. What's my mistake?

When typing text, TeamViewer uses the input options set on your device. Keyboard settings on the remote PC are ignored.

If you’re using a Mac to connect to a Windows device, you’ll need to press Ctrl+Space to change the language. Conversely, if a Windows PC user remotely controls a computer with a different OS, to switch the language on the keyboard, they should press Ctrl+Alt or Shift+Alt.
