How to use TeamViewer or remote computer control via the Internet. TeamViewer - what is this program and how to use it

Hello everyone, today I’ll tell you about what TeamViewer is and how much you need this program, maybe it’s completely useless and it makes sense to delete it? This means that TeamViewer is a program, so to speak, on a global scale, because it is a very well-known program, bug-free and jam-free. I used it very often before, and all because I helped people remotely, that is, over the Internet. How? Well, that's what TeamViewer is for!

This is a program that helps to provide remote assistance to another user; for this you need either the Internet or just a local network. Watch how everything happens, you connect to another computer and see the Windows desktop there. Well, that is, it’s as if you are actually working at that computer. And then you can set something up there, for example, show how to use some program, or something like that. Well, isn't it true that this is a cool program, especially considering that it is free for non-commercial use!

In order to help like this via the Internet, you need the program to be installed on both you and the person you need to help. To start helping, you need the person who needs help to tell you the ID and password. The first consists of nine numbers, in general there are many numbers, but the second, well, that is, the password, so it consists of four numbers in total.

Well, we were more or less able to explain what TeamViewer is and what this program is needed for. Now look, you can easily download it from the official website (teamviewer.com), and install it just as easily. You don’t even have to install it, just run it. This is what TeamViewer looks like:

You see, there is an ID and a password. The ID is always so long, and the password is always so small. You can tell this ID and password to someone so that they can connect to YOU, and if you want to connect to someone, then they must give you an ID and password. Where the partner’s ID is written (well, that is on the right), that’s where you indicate the ID that has already been given to you, then click Connect to partner. If everything is ok, a small window will pop up where you will need to enter a password. And that’s it, then you can control a computer, which may be on the other side of the world, that’s how things are!

Not everyone knows that TeamViewer can work without the Internet, it’s just that instead of an ID there will be a local IP address. If you go to settings:

And there is such a setting as Incoming connections, here you can choose to accept exclusively, and then TeamViewer will ONLY work over the local network:

If you choose to simply accept, then there will probably be a combined mode, that is, both over the Internet and over a local network. You might be thinking, what’s the fun in this? Well, look, for a local network, well, for TeamViewer to work through it, you don’t need the Internet at all, well, the Internet is not available everywhere, but a local network can be... Well, for example, remote help at school, a teacher helps his students this way.. Well, this is my fantasy.. But the most important thing is that in this way the image in TeamViewer will be transmitted very quickly! Well, that is, there will be no brakes, almost none. I just didn’t write, but TeamViewer works with brakes if the Internet is not very fast or if it is unstable, somehow buggy. This is all because in order for you to comfortably do something on a remote computer, it goes without saying that the picture must be transferred simply INSTANTLY!

Well, I think I told you what this TeamViewer program is, I hope everything is clear. Now look, I have the TeamViewer program installed, that is, not portable, but installed. What I mean is that if TeamViewer is installed, then this is the process you can see in the task manager:

In addition to the TeamViewer_Service.exe process, you can also see TeamViewer_Desktop.exe, tv_w32.exe, tv_x64.exe and possibly others. I just have TeamViewer installed and nothing more, I’m not helping anyone there anymore, that’s why there’s only one process in the manager. In general, things like this. Besides this, TeamViewer also puts its service! Now open the task manager, go to the Services tab, and then click on the button with the same name Services, and a window will open with a list of services, you will see the following TeamViewer 11 service there (this last number is the version):

If you double-click on this service, you will see the following window:

Well, that is, as you probably already understood, the TeamViewer_Service.exe process is launched by this service!

The program itself is installed in this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer

Well, it seems like I’ve told you everything, now it’s time to show you how to remove this program, well, again, this is only if you have it installed and not just running.

I use it to remove software from my computer, so if you’re interested, you can also look at this uninstaller, it’s quite a good program, in my opinion

Well, now how to remove it in a simple way, so to speak, in general, click the Start menu and select Control Panel there:

If you have Windows 10, then this item is already in another menu, so to open it, then hold down the Win + X buttons!

Then among the icons we find Programs and Features, and launch it:

A window with installed programs will open, here you need to find TeamViewer, right-click and select Uninstall:

Then a window will pop up, there will also be a Remove settings checkbox, so that the TeamViewer settings will also be deleted. In general, check this box (or don’t check it if necessary to save the settings) and click Uninstall:

That's it, then the program will quickly be deleted:

Well, that’s it, you won’t have the TeamViewer program on your computer anymore, you deleted it and that’s it, now you have one less program

I hope that everything was clear here and now you know exactly what the TeamViewer program is, whether you need it or not, and how to remove it, well, if it turns out that you don’t need it. Good luck in life, good mood and health

Basic operating mode

After launching the utility, you can immediately begin managing the remote PC. Naturally, the same version of TeamViewer must be installed on it. To connect, you need a unique number of the remote machine and a password.

They are written in the left area of ​​the utility window. Accordingly, if you want to transfer control of your PC to someone, you should send the data from the ID and “password” fields to the partner.

After receiving all the data and entering it, a window will appear on the display in which the machines are displayed. It will not display wallpaper. This is done in order to reduce the load on the network.

Of course, nothing prevents you from turning on the display of the background image. To do this, you need to click on the “View” inscription located in the top panel of the utility, and then uncheck the “Hide Wallpaper” option.

For several months now I have been using one wonderful program - TeamViewer(remote computer control via the Internet). She often helps me out at work and I like her so much that I simply cannot help but tell you about her capabilities. And for those who are especially curious, detailed, high-quality video course on setup and useTeamViewer, located below in the text.

Where it all began.

I work as a system administrator in a restaurant and my responsibilities, among other things, include ensuring the functionality of computer equipment and software, as well as entering the necessary information into the database. But, if there is a need to urgently perform the above actions after 6 pm, when I go home, then I have to come back again, sometimes even at 10-11 pm.

A programmer friend advised me to solve this problem using remote access. But it was not possible to implement this idea using a standard Windows utility, since the server had XP home edition installed, but at least XP professional was needed. Naturally, for the sake of remote work, management will not buy another licensed Windows. I had neither the time nor any special desire to deal with third-party utilities.

Once, while watching a recorded webinar, I noticed that the presenter uses a rather interesting tool to demonstrate the program on his desktop, drawing various tips and diagrams on it, like a teacher on a blackboard. This reminded me. But then I didn’t even suspect that this was far from the main feature of this tool. Later, the person conducting the presentation himself answered the question about what kind of utility this was... It was a program TeamViewer (teamviewer, or teamweaver).

This interested me and I started looking for information on this utility on the Internet. I managed to find its description and several video tutorials (then the old English version) on its use. This was enough for me to solve my problem of remote control of my work computer. Later, having studied qualitative video course onTeamViewer 6 version, which describes all its capabilities and detailed settings, I fell in love with this program even more and began to use it to the fullest.

How do I use TeamViewer (program features).

1. I manage my work computer without leaving home. It’s especially nice to do this in the evening instead of having to rush across the city on an urgent call.

2. I connect to my home computer from work. In fact, I can use two computers to simultaneously perform different tasks that require a large load on the processor (for example, converting video files).

3. Parental controls. If the kids need a computer, I enter my account password straight from work to boot the system. From time to time I can see what they are doing on the computer. If necessary, I can lock the keyboard and mouse or turn off the computer altogether.

4. File manager. With TeamViewer you can share any files and folders between your work and home computer. True, the transfer speed leaves much to be desired.

5. Communication. TeamViewer easily replaces any Internet pagers: ICQ, etc., as well as a mobile phone. It has text chat, voice communication and video chat (if you have a web camera).

6. Drawing tools for demonstration or distance learning on your computer screen (I haven't used this tool yet).

Additional benefitsTeamViewer

1. Works on any platform: Windows, Mac, Linux and even iPhone/iPad/Android.

2. Free license for non-commercial use, despite the fact that TeamViewer has capabilities that even some paid utilities cannot do.

3. Easy installation that does not require specific knowledge (unlike similar programs).

3. Availability of a program module TeamViewer QuickSupport for use without installation on the operating system (convenient for assisting beginners and for use from a flash drive).

4. Control a remote computer via a browser. In this case, the TeamViewer program is not needed at all; you just need to register and use your account on the project website. This is convenient when you need to access your computer from someone else’s, for example, from an Internet club.

5. Security of transmitted traffic. TeamViewer uses the RSA key exchange scheme, as well as the strong AES encryption method with a key length of 256 bits. This is considered one of the most effective methods of protection.
