Web Services
To provide the most secure level of encryption to our users, we removed support of Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 and 1.1 from our web services in October 2020. This includes our Management Console and our web-based API.
Transport Layer Security is a protocol that provides encrypted communication on the web. After October 2020, we will only support TLS version 1.2.
If you are using an up-to-date browser and don't use our API, no further action is required. All current browser versions already support TLS 1.2.
If you are using a browser version several years old, we recommend updating it to the latest version.
And if you are a developer using our API to integrate TeamViewer (Classic) functionality into other solutions, please ensure your HTTP client supports TLS 1.2.
