How can I provide remote support to my end-users?
You can provide attended remote support (remote support when an end-user is present on the remote side) to an end-user by creating a session via TeamViewer Remote and sharing the session link with them via chat, WhatsApp, or email.

Why should I use session links instead of my TeamViewer ID and password?
Session links provide you with a safer, easier way to connect. Sharing passwords is outdated; it is more secure to directly share a session link via chat, WhatsApp, or email. More info here: The advantages of session links over ID and password sharing

Can I still connect via IP or a device name?
No. Both the TeamViewer Remote full client and web app require a TeamViewer account to connect. Connecting to devices that exclusively accept LAN connections is not supported.
However, it is possible to
- use the classic TeamViewer full client for offline LAN connections
and
- use the TeamViewer Remote web app for online connections
offering the best of both worlds.
To connect in LAN mode with TeamViewer (Classic), please read this article.
