If you need to get full access to another computer over a network or vice versa, to give someone access to your computer, then there are various programs remote access. Most of these programs work provided that the managed computer has a permanent IP address on the network (the so-called white IP). At this address we can directly connect to this computer. But most often the IP address of ordinary household or office computers not permanent (so-called gray IP). And therefore, most remote access applications will not be able to connect to such a computer via the Internet. Unlike many applications, the Teamviewer service allows you to connect computers regardless of whether they have a permanent IP address. That is why this program has become extremely popular among ordinary users working for regular computers, not servers. In this article we will tell you how to use Teamviewer and on what principle does this program for remote computer control via the Internet work?
How the Teamviewer service works
Remote access programs work according to the following principle. The computer you are connecting to asks for a password to complete the connection. After the password is entered correctly, the controlled computer tells the host computer the size of its screen, the position of the mouse cursor and sends the image contained on it in compressed form. The host computer displays the resulting screen content in a window, and allows the user to move the cursor and press mouse and keyboard keys. All these input device manipulations are immediately sent to the slave computer, which accepts the received data as if it were received from its native keyboard and mouse. In turn, the slave computer constantly monitors the contents of its screen, and in case of the slightest changes, it saves all changed pixels in the form of packed data and sends it to the master computer. This mutual data transfer is carried out continuously, thereby creating maximum compliance with the work directly on the remote computer. It is worth noting that in the case of low speed or unreliable Internet connection, data transmission problems naturally arise, which is expressed either in the image freezing or in a long delay in responding to keystrokes.
The bottleneck of such programs is the stage of establishing communication between computers. If the computers are in local network, then they are easy to find by their local IP addresses. But if the slave computer is located outside the local network, then you will not be able to access it directly unless it has a dedicated IP address. To get around this limitation, TeamViewer program works a little differently. The slave computer establishes a connection with the TeamViewer service server by receiving a unique identifier (ID) from the server, and the master computer contacts the server and reports the ID of the computer with which it wishes to establish a connection. And then the server connects the master computer with the slave. Thus, the server acts as an intermediary, connecting two computers that themselves do not see each other.
Installing and launching TeamViewer
If you need the TeamViewer program for permanent work, you can download and install it from official website. You can also use the portable version of the program, available in the catalog. To do this, select it in the “Utilities” section.
After downloading and unpacking, you can run the program from the list of portable programs.
Of course, the program must be run on both computers - both the master and the slave. The portable version of the program is quite sufficient for full work with the program, provided that there is a user at the slave computer who can provide a changing password. If it is necessary to gain control over a computer without the presence of a person behind it, then on such a slave computer the portable version is not enough. Then, before using Teamviewer, you will need to carry out its complete installation in normal mode from the official website, specifying during installation permanent password for access without human supervision.
The program can be used free of charge for non-commercial purposes, as indicated at the bottom of the window when opening the program. Also at the bottom of the window information about the connection status with TeamViewer servers is displayed. If there is no connection for some reason, the message “Not ready. check the connection."
If you successfully go online, the message “Ready to connect” will be visible, and numeric values will appear in the ID and password fields.
If you are on a slave (managed) computer, then after starting TeamViewer, no more action will be required on your part other than providing the ID and password displayed in the window to the person who wants to connect to your computer.
Connecting to a remote computer
Once you have been given the ID and password displayed in TeamViewer on the managed computer, you can connect to this device. To do this, you should also open the TeamViewer application and enter the computer ID provided to you in the field marked “Partner ID”. Then click the “Connect to partner” button.
The program will try to establish a connection with the remote system - if everything goes well, a window will appear where you can enter the provided password and click the “Login” button.
As a result, you will see the contents of the screen of the managed computer and will be able to control it using the keyboard and mouse. In addition, you will also hear the sound produced by the computer's audio device. For settings various parameters and using additional functions, a special panel is available at the top border of the window. In most cases remote control computer via the Internet can be performed without using this panel. Therefore, it usually makes sense to minimize it so that the panel does not cover part of the screen of the remote computer.
After you have completed all the necessary operations on the remote computer, you can end the session by simply clicking the close button of the window with this session.
Additional TeamViewer Features
With each new version The TeamViewer program is acquiring various new services. If earlier versions of the program were limited to one additional function of transferring files between computers, then by now the program has a number of different services:
Chat (text dialogue);
Video (displaying an image via a webcam);
Demonstration drawing;
Taking screenshots of the managed computer's screen;
Video recording of actions from the screen of a controlled computer;
File sharing.
In a number individual cases these features may be useful. If necessary, you can use them through the panel at the top of the remote access session window. But most often it is more convenient to use other specialized programs for similar purposes. For example, it is more convenient to chat or make audio/video calls in Skype or another Internet messenger.
conclusions
This article provided the necessary information on how to use Teamviewer. Usage portable versions this program is sufficient to solve most important tasks of remotely controlling a computer via the Internet, except for one thing - the ability to access a computer at which the user is not present. Standard installation of the program eliminates this problem.

If you need a quick and high-quality connection to another PC at a distance, and you want to find out what TeamViewer is, then you have come to the right place. The remote control utility has been solving problems for millions of users for more than 5 years, allowing them to connect to home computer from work and vice versa, hold conferences, provide service support and similar services at a distance. Modern versions of the program make it possible to interact with computers with different operating systems, and also provide for controlling the computer remotely using a smartphone.
How to download and install TeamViewer?
- Before installing TeamViewer, select the type operating system, matching your computer or smartphone.
- Proceed to download the program, it is small and will not take much time.
- Install TeamViewer, checking the boxes you need to get started.
In the first installation window, the program asks for information about the purpose of use. Check the “Personal use” box, in which case the program will be free. If the scope of application is related to holding conferences and demonstrations, solving commercial problems, select “ Commercial use" or "All of the above." Please remember that TeamViewer can only be used for commercial purposes on a paid basis.
If you select “Install”, then you will be able to control your computer only when the program is running and your partner knows your id and password. When you select “Install to then manage this computer remotely,” you will receive so-called “uncontrolled access,” which will allow you to manage this computer even when the program is not running.
How to use TeamViewer
The working area of the program is presented in the form of two combined windows, the first of which contains your id and password, the second contains an empty column for entering the partner id. It is important to know that connection data is generated differently each time, so without prior configuration you will have to regularly update it.
- If there is a need to connect to your computer, copy and send your id and password to your partner, after which he can proceed to remote work.
- To connect to your partner’s computer, find out his id and password in Teamviewer. Enter your partner's ID in the appropriate field; after a short check, a password field will appear. Enter the password you received from your partner there, and you will connect to his PC.
- If you want to hold a conference, select the item of the same name and click “Start a blitz conference”. Tell the right people the conference ID, and they will be able to quickly connect and become participants in a video call (watching a demonstration).
- There is a file transfer feature, but only one file can be transferred at a time.
How to set up TeamViewer?
If you need to control your home computer from work or vice versa, as well as in a number of similar cases, you need to change some parameters in the program, setting a fixed id and password, as well as autorun of the utility when Windows boots.
To configure TeamViewer, refer to the service panel, it is located at the very top left and is represented by several menu items - “Connection”, “Advanced”, “Help” (depending on the version of the program, they may differ slightly).

Video on setting up Teamweaver:
Hello everyone, dear friends! Dmitry Kostin is with you again. Yesterday my wife and I went to kindergarten at my daughter's graduation. Everything was cool, but I’ll tell you about that later. Today I would like to talk about one very wonderful tool that has helped me and my family, friends and acquaintances more than once. This program is called teamviewer.
With the help of it, I quite often help my mother if, for example, something crashes or does not open on the computer, or some other problem that can be solved in 5 minutes. Mom calls and says she can’t log into her browser. Then I go to her computer using this program and quickly fix everything.
The essence of this program is that you can connect remotely to the desktop of another user (provided that he has the same program), and then help him visually do something, configure, fix, etc. In general, I won’t pull the cat’s tail. Let me show you how to use teamviewer with an example. Go!
Computer management
And now the fun begins. You ended up on your friend’s computer, on his desktop, in his fortress. You can explore it, see how other people live at the computer.
Have you noticed that as soon as you or someone comes to you, the desktop background immediately turns black. This setting is the default to eat less resources. But in the settings you can fix this and make sure that the background does not disappear anywhere. In general, go to settings (Options) and see what you can do. Everything is absolutely clear there.
Well, if you want your friend to gain remote access to your computer, then you
Transferring files
In addition to wandering around the desktop of a friend (or stranger), teamviewer can work in file transfer mode. To do this, when you enter the program, select not Computer Management, but "File Transfer".
What does it mean. This means that when you connect via transfer, you no longer see someone else’s desktop, but only folders and drives. This way you can easily transfer any files to another computer. The thing is simply mega-useful.
Conference mode
I recently learned that this program not only serves to provide remote access, but through it you can also create conferences, make video calls and demonstrations. In general, Skype capabilities are present. Want to try? Then first go to the “Conference” tab and you will see two windows "Hold a conference", "Conference Schedule" And "Join".
But I want to tell you that for conferences you can create account, although this is not necessary. To do this, click "Register" V additional panel programs. Registration there is clear. I think that there should not be any difficulties.
Create a conference
Now you need to choose what type of conference you want to do. To do this, in the column "Hold a conference" choose one of three options. After the conference starts, a separate window with parameters will appear. By opening the “Participants” tab, you will see the conference ID. This is what you will need to enter for the participants you want to see.
Demonstration
In this mode, you will show other participants your computer and desktop. That is, by your example you will show how and what to do. On the right you will see a special panel where the entire process will be displayed. Those. this is exactly what conference participants will see. You will also be able to speak into the microphone to explain all your actions.
In the same panel you will see some tabs:
Video call
This mode is somewhat reminiscent of the most common video Skype. You create this video broadcast, watch your ID and tell it to other participants. After that they connect to you and that’s it.
Telephone
Well, I don’t see any point in this function in this program at all, so I, to be honest, have never used it.
Joining the conference
OK. We've sorted out the creation. And if we want to join, what should we do? Never mind. Just go to teamviewer again, select the conference mode and enter your ID (the creator will tell you this) and your display name in the special fields. All. And then join and watch.
So what do you think? I think it's very cool multifunctional program. And with its help, many problems are really solved. It serves as a kind of teleportation portal between different people. And by the way, you can install it not only on a computer, but also on a phone or tablet. It's working out great. I tried))
Do you use teamviewer yourself? Or maybe you are using another program, for example AMMY Admin? Please write in the comments.
Well, that’s probably all I have for today. I hope that this material was interesting and useful for you. Therefore, be sure to subscribe to my blog updates so as not to miss anything interesting. And of course, be sure to visit other articles on my blog. I'm sure you'll find something interesting for yourself. I wish you success. Bye bye!
With respect, Dmitry Kostin.
The average user may actually need a lot. The first (and most common!) is that you need full access to to a third party computer, which is located at a decent distance from you. The second (also not uncommon!) is to establish a connection with a remote PC to exchange information (receive/transfer files). Also, the team viewer allows you to create/configure virtual private VPN networks (two-level networks consisting of “internal” secure connections and “external” ones through which communication is carried out). Well, and in addition to everything, this program allows video communication and the creation of web conferences and demonstrations between networked machines.
Installing TeamViewer
To start using the TeamViewer utility, first you need to download it, and then run it or install it on your PC (the application involves two types of use - with and without installation). On our portal you can always download TeamViewer for free latest version. There is no point in using a pirated version of the utility, since the program is absolutely free for private/non-commercial use. In addition, in the "Pirates edition" version, hackers can integrate various "hacks" that create security holes in connections/connections.
When installing the utility, you need to pay attention to a couple of points. First, the installer will offer you a choice of three options for using the team viewer: 1. "Just start"(does not require administrator rights and installation/installation of the application on a PC, suitable for urgent one-time use of the program), 2. "Install to then remotely control this computer"(provides round-the-clock access to your machine from any third-party computer/mobile device), 3. “Install” (complete installation of the program on a PC with all functionality for further session-by-session use, i.e. when required). Choose which option suits you best.
Second, in additional settings you will need to indicate whether you need the VPN connection creation feature (option "Use Teamviewer VPN).
After installing the team viewer on your PC, the application will offer you register(create an account) with the system. This will give you some extra functionality: Create/manage contacts, contact groups and remote PCs (for limitless communication with people and quick access to remote PCs). Take advantage of this offer.
Working with Computers and Contacts in TeamViewer
In the main program window, find (in the lower right corner) the option "Computers and Contacts" and click on the arrow icon (right) to open the menu. In it (at the very bottom) select any of the options you need "add remote computer", "add contact" or "add group", then fill in the user data in the form that opens, and the new contact/remote PC will appear in your list.
Allow TeamViewer to connect to your own PC
In order for any third-party user to be able to connect to your computer and perform any actions on it, you need to transfer to him your user data (your ID and password) necessary to create a connection, which you will find in the section "Allow control" by launching the TeamViewer application on your computer. Use Skype, email, icq or, finally, telephone. A third-party user will need to create a connection through a team viewer on their machine. Wait until the screen turns black. This means that the connection has been established and the session has begun!
How to create a connection to a third-party PC in TeamViewer
There are two ways. First: ask the user "at the other end of the line" to provide you with his Teamviewer ID and password, launch TeamViewer (if you haven't already), under "Manage your computer" enter this data in the required fields and be sure to select the connection option "Remote control"/"File Transfer", after which, press the button "Connect to partner"(in the future the inscription will be lit "Clear connection"). Wait for the black screen and feel free to move your mouse!
Second way: enter the menu "Computers and Contacts", find the user you need, click on his contact rights. keyboard mouse and just select required action(see screenshot below).
Transferring files via TeamViewer
The exchange of information between machines connected to each other is done quite simply in the team viewer, almost as elementary as in the good old Total Commander. Take a close look at the screenshot below, and you are unlikely to have any questions!
That's all. To all Teamwiever users - successful, high-speed and secure connections!
