Download the latest version of TeamViewer for all platforms

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.

How is TeamViewer Portable different from TeamViewer?

Functionality-wise there’s no difference, since the portable version has all the functions of a regular TeamViewer. However, the portable version does not require installation and can be run from a flash drive or any other drive.

What is TeamViewer QuickSupport?

Like the Portable version, QuickSupport also does not require installation. The difference is that QS works only in one direction: you can receive remote support through it, but you cannot provide it. QuickSupport gives the support technician access and control over the device to quickly resolve technical issues.

What is TeamViewer QuickJoin?

TeamViewer QuickJoin is a module that does not require installation and runs from a separate .exe file. It allows you to join an online presentation or meeting. Note that you can’t start new meetings with QJ, for that you’ll need a regular TeamViewer.

What is TeamViewer Host?

This version is designed for 24/7 monitoring, maintenance and support of connected devices. It can be installed on an unlimited number of computers and mobile gadgets. It runs in the background as a system service, turning on even before a user logs in Windows. Also, like QuickSupport, it works in one direction.

What is better to download?

Depends on your purposes. For continuous use, especially on a large number of machines, TeamViewer Host is optimal. It is indispensable when working with stand-alone devices, which are not constantly set by the operator, who can manually start the program. For occasional or non-commercial use, the regular TeamViewer is fine. To get technical support, a truncated version is enough - QuickSupport. For work on trips or calling from someone else's PC - choose TeamViewer Portable. And for participating in online meetings (conferences, presentations, etc) QuickJoin is suitable.
