TeamViewer Remote

Remote access software

Whether you have to troubleshoot a device deployed in the field, access a work file from home, reconfigure a server, or solve a customer query, TeamViewer Remote is the only remote access solution you need. Get the access you require to get the job done — anytime and from anywhere. 

Unattended access

TeamViewer Remote supports unattended access; i.e. allowing you to access a device remotely, even if that device is not being used, and without requiring any action on the part of a remote endpoint user. 

Enabling the creation of secure whitelists, TeamViewer Remote gives you complete flexibility in defining who can initiate remote access software sessions on each device, while also enabling you to centrally log incoming and outgoing connections. From laptops to point-of-sale terminals and digital dashboards to kiosk systems, you set the rules to facilitate remote access to your entire IT estate.

IT support

Deliver a fast, effective fix for IT service issues without having to leave your desk. 

With TeamViewer Remote, when a service request is received, your IT service desk staff can connect instantly with the target device, check the problem, reconfigure the device or app remotely where possible, or escalate the request up the chain where required.  

Instigate dynamic management of service requests, boost your turnaround time, number of contacts handled, and user satisfaction, while ensuring internal resources are put to best possible use.

Maintenance

TeamViewer Remote offers a simple, cost-effective way to monitor, maintain, update, and optimize delocalized computers, devices, and applications. 

With comprehensive remote access capabilities, administrators can have direct access to all computers in the network, check speed, CPU usage and other key metrics, schedule software updates, and generate detailed up-to-date stats, reports, and diagnostics.

TeamViewer Remote enables access to and control of scattered servers and other headless devices, as well as all kinds of unattended devices such as industrial sensors, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, and digital display points. Full, cross-platform compatibility and flexibility allows you to devise and customize the remote maintenance policy that works best for your business. It can also help to lower your costs and reliance on outsourced maintenance services. 

Secure activity

All TeamViewer Remote connections are end-to-end encrypted, effectively mitigating the risk of communications between devices being intercepted by unauthorized parties. This also facilitates the transfer of files between devices — including sensitive information — rapidly and securely.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Remote access software refers to technology that allows you to connect to a computer, other types of device or networks from a different physical location. 

There are various ways to establish remote access. This includes vendor-tied solutions (Microsoft Remote Desktop, for instance) that enable connections between certain devices using specific operating systems. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is another option. This type of program establishes a secure tunnel between devices across the internet, but can be expensive and time-consuming to use when you have large numbers of devices in play. 

TeamViewer Remote is a secure, fully cross-compatible solution giving you remote access to any device, from any device, wherever you are, whatever the make, model, or operating system – for less cost and without the hassle of VPNs.

A remote access code is a password or series of digits that a user enters to gain access to a remote device or network. 

TeamViewer Remote offers a number of connection methods, allowing you to determine when, how, and if access codes are required (depending on your security preferences and the type of devices you are trying to gain access to). These are as follows: 

  • Easy access. This allows you access to a remote device without entering a code (useful for unattended devices). 

  • Personal password. 

  • Random password. TeamViewer Remote generates a random password. Once this is supplied to a remote party, they can access your device. As soon as the random password changes, the person can no longer access your device. 

  • One-time password. The user granting access uses TeamViewer Remote to generate a one-time password that will only be valid for one incoming access connection.

For remote access to a server and similar unattended devices, you would generally use TeamViewer’s easy access feature. This can only be used through a TeamViewer account, through which authorization is secured through two-factor authentication. 

Additional access controls can be applied through the TeamViewer Remote trusted devices feature, which requires an administrator to authorize new devices on which you sign in to your TeamViewer (Classic) account for the first time.

When it comes to remote access, TeamViewer Remote is a top choice. You can seamlessly access computers, devices, data, and applications from anywhere, empowering you to stay connected on the go or from your smartphone. You’ll also benefit from industry-leading features such as secure end-to-end encryption, compatibility across multiple platforms and operating systems, and reliable connections. Whether you need to remotely manage commercial equipment, optimize industry processes, or enhance IT support, TeamViewer Remote has you covered.

With TeamViewer Remote, you can easily access another computer over the internet. 

Connect to TeamViewer through your browser by using the web client. Sign into your TeamViewer account and create a remote session link.

Share this session link with your recipient. Once clicking on the link, they will be taken directly to the QuickSupport app or the QuickSupport app is downloaded automatically if it is not already installed.

Begin the session to establish a connection between the two computers, and remotely access the incoming device. Once connected, you can remotely control the remote computer’s desktop, access files and applications, and perform tasks as if you were physically present.
