To enhance security and transparency during remote support sessions, TeamViewer has introduced Screen sharing indicator, a new feature that provides users on the receiving end with a clear indication when a supporter is connected to their device. With this feature, users will see an orange frame around their screen, along with a prominent End session button at the top, ensuring they have full control and can easily terminate the session if needed.
When a supporter establishes a remote connection to your device using TeamViewer, you will see an orange frame around your screen. This frame indicates which screen is currently being viewed by the supporter. This is especially useful if you use multiple monitors on your device.
At the top of the screen, within the orange frame, you will find a prominent and easy-to-reach End session button. Should you need to stop the session at any point, you can simply click this button to immediately terminate the connection.
Screen sharing indicator provides users with increased transparency and control during remote support sessions. This ensures that users are always aware of when a supporter is connected to their device and gives them the ability to end the session at any time.
