TeamViewer
TeamViewer is a remote access and remote control computer software, allowing maintenance of computers and other devices. It was first released in 2005, and its functionality has expanded step by step. TeamViewer is proprietary software that requires registration and is free of charge for non-commercial use. It has been installed on more than 2.5 billion devices.[better source needed] TeamViewer is the core product of developing company TeamViewer SE.
The foundation of TeamViewer goes back to the release of the first version of the TeamViewer software in 2005, which was developed to reduce travelling to customers and at that time was still based on the VNC project. The IT service provider wanted to avoid unnecessary trips to customers and perform tasks such as installing software remotely. The development was very successful and gave rise to TeamViewer GmbH, which today operates as TeamViewer Germany GmbH and is part of TeamViewer SE.
TeamViewer is available for most desktop computers with common operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Windows Server, as well as Apple's macOS. There are also packages for several Linux distributions and derivatives, for example, Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and Fedora Linux. Besides, there is Raspberry Pi OS, a Debian variant for the Raspberry Pi.
TeamViewer is also available for smartphones and tablets running Android or Apple's iOS/iPadOS operating system, with very limited functionality on Linux based operating systems. Support for Windows Phone and Windows Mobile has been phased out after Microsoft discontinued support for the two operating systems.
The functionality of TeamViewer differs depending on the device and variant or version of the software. The core of TeamViewer is remote access to computers and other endpoints as well as their control and maintenance. After the connection is established, the remote screen is visible to the user at the other endpoint. Both endpoints can send and receive files as well as access a shared clipboard, for example. Besides, some functions facilitate team collaboration, such as audio and video transmissions via IP telephony.
In recent years, the functionality of the software has been optimized in particular for use in large companies. For this purpose, the enterprise variant TeamViewer Tensor was developed. With TeamViewer Frontline, TeamViewer sells software for remote support and process optimization with augmented reality elements. TeamViewer offers interfaces to other applications and services, for example from Microsoft (Teams), Salesforce, The solution is available in nearly all countries and supports over 30 languages.
In October 2024, Session Insights was launched, an AI-based feature that automates the documentation of remote support sessions by automatically generating summaries after each session. In August 2025, TeamViewer consolidated these and other functions under the label TeamViewer Intelligence. This add-on for Corporate and Tensor licences includes, in addition to Session Insights & Analytics, the TeamViewer CoPilot, a chat assistant integrated into remote support sessions for retrieving device data, analysing issues and automating standardised processes. Session Insights & Analytics also provides keyword search and metric overviews in dashboards.
Private customers may use a limited subset of features for non-commercial purposes free of charge. There is a maximum of three managed devices for free accounts. VPN, Wake-on-LAN, file sync, audio, video and chat were disabled. Fees must be paid for the commercial use of the software. Companies and other commercial customers must sign up for a subscription. The prices for using the software are scaled according to the number of users as well as the number of concurrent sessions. Updates are released monthly and are included for all users.
