“Simple, fast and secure desktop sharing”

by Elena Santos about TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a popular, easy to use desktop sharing tool.

As soon as your friends and relatives find out that you know a bit about computers, it's all over. They'll be asking you for help with the most varied tech issues on a constant basis, as if you were a permanent, free customer support service.

Luckily you can count on TeamViewer 6 to lend you a hand. TeamViewer lets you gain access to the desktops of your friends, relatives or even customers in a snap. What's more, it doesn't require any technical skills on the remote side, making it incredibly easy to use.

A bit like Online Desktop Presenter, all you have to do is run TeamViewer and ask the other person to run it as well. Each time you run TeamViewer you'll be given a unique session number and password which you can use to enter the other person's PC. This means TeamViewer can be used for both entering a remote computer and letting another person enter yours in case you need remote assistance as well.

Beside viewing the remote desktop just as if you were sitting in front of it, you can also make use of the program's features: embedded chat client, file transfer tool, the possibility of recording the session, and more.

This version of TeamViewer is a stripped-down version of the paid application and therefore lacks some extra modules and functionality. Nevertheless it's still a great helper when you need to fix small problems in remote systems or show someone else how to do a certain task on the computer.

TeamViewer is an excellent desktop sharing tool that lets you manage remote systems in a safe way and without requiring a lot of technical knowledge.

Pros
  • Very easy to use
  • Support for chat, voice and video
  • Record sessions
  • Transfer files
Cons
  • Free version has limitations
  • Your friends or relatives have to learn to use it on their end too!

    Anyone doing remote support knows the following situation: The user on the other side is neither capable of telling you what he sees and if you tell him where to click bet 50:50 he does it right. T... More

    ... this is sooo much faster than telling somewhat how to fix things on their computer (most people always get the instructions wrong, or really have no idea what you are talking about.).
