TeamViewer is not only a, but also an and tool to remotely control other devices. Soon after starting to use it, you’ll feel confident with TeamViewer. Let’s get you started and explain the basics. Download and Installation The first step towards remotely controlling one device from another is to install the TeamViewer full version on the controlling and another full version or a QuickSupport module (no installation necessary) on the controlled device.
The full version of TeamViewer is. To download the full version, visit. Then, click on Download TeamViewer and run the.exe file, which will look like this (on Windows): For simplicity’s sake, let’s just stick to the basic installation for now. Press Accept – finish to end the installation process. TeamViewer should be ready for use now. The Remote Device On the remote device, you have two options depending on how you plan on using TeamViewer.
If you’d like to initiate remote connections from this device, too – be it now or in the future – just repeat the full version installation. Run a TeamViewer QuickSupport module for single use. The advantage of QuickSupport modules is their simplicity: They don’t require an installation, but you just run them. To get a QuickSupport module, just go to either., where you can enter a session code which can be generated using a TeamViewer full version on the controlling computer or. and it will be downloaded automatically. Then run the.exe file. To hand over control to another TeamViewer instance, give the supporter Your ID and Password.
Establish a Connection With both ends of the connection using the full version of TeamViewer, the partner that wants to remotely control a device types in the TeamViewer ID and Password of the device they want to control into their own TeamViewer. A TeamViewer ID is unique, will always stay the same for every device and can be used to contact that device from any other instance of TeamViewer.
Passwords are generated randomly with every start of TeamViewer. As soon as you entered your partner’s info into your own TeamViewer and click Connect to partner, the remote session will start. If you have decided to go with the QuickSupport module that requires a session code on the remote side of the connection, enter the respective session code your partner provides you with into the module and the remote session will be established: Now, to create a session code: 1. In a TeamViewer full version, go to your Computers & Contacts list and click the add contact symbol. Then click Create session code.
Invite a partner to the session by providing them with the session code. You can do that, e.g., via email by clicking Invite in the created session contact that will now be displayed in your Computers & Contacts list.

Share your thoughts in the comment section below! Great Article on getting started. I will be using the free individual license approach since i am only trying to help my elderly relatives with their computer issues.
I think the quicksupport module approach, for now, seems good. In my testing with another PC in my house, i do notice that when you request session id and then invite - you are actually asking the other computer to save/run a file which ends up in the directory on that other PC. Which is fine - just wanted to check that in the article its says download/installing is needed. So is their a way to just run the file vs actually saving it to a directory and then running it?
Every time i remote to that other PC will it want to save and run a file? And remain in that download directory until i delete it? Hi, The QuickSupport module needs to be downloaded first, into your Downloads folder for example, before you can run it. It wouldn't be possible to run it without downloading it first. However, the advantage of the QuickSupport module is that it doesn't need to be installed, in the way a regular program is installed.
It simply runs on the spot, without installing any files into your Program Files directory. Once you're finished with it, you can just delete the file if you wish, without needing to uninstall anything.
Or, if you are likely to want to connect to the same computer again in the future, you can keep the file and use it the next time. There's no need to re-download the same file every time you wish to connect to that computer.
