TeamViewer is a remote access program that can be used to view or control another device from a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. It works on most popular operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
TeamViewer features
TeamViewer offers convenient options for remote control of a connected computer from any PC or mobile device at hand. With the help of the program, you can work with your home or work PC, view files or launch applications by setting up the connection with just a couple of mouse clicks or a few taps on the smartphone screen.
The program allows you to help friends or relatives (if they have any problems with the device) or provide support for work computers, which is especially appreciated by system administrators in large organizations.
TeamViewer provides a secure and reliable connection between devices. Data transmission uses end-to-end encryption with 256-bit RSA keys. This means that the user’s personal information is reliably protected even when connected via public Wi-Fi networks, and also eliminates the need to establish and configure a VPN connection.
A portable version of the application is available for Windows OS. It can be downloaded to a USB flash drive and used on any PC. This solution is very convenient in cases where installing the software on an existing computer is not possible, for example, at work or in a public place.
TeamViewer provides remote access and allows you not only to conveniently control equipment from a distance, but also to exchange messages and files between devices. In addition, using the program, you can print text documents located on a remote PC with a local printer.
Among other functions and features of the program:
- establishing a connection between computers and mobile devices with different platforms,
- providing access to the screen of a remote device,
- bringing the remote computer out of sleep mode, rebooting and installing software,
- control standalone PCs, servers, Android devices, public screens or vending machines,
- grouping contacts for simpler navigation (you can also add users to the blacklist),
- showing your own desktop or presentations to other people;
- establishing a connection bypassing firewalls, blocked ports;
- high data transfer rate and good image quality.
With all its advantages and a wide range of functions, the program is easy to use and has intuitive controls.
