Control your PC or Mac on the go

TeamViewer Remote Control is a free development & IT application that lets you control your desktop remotely over the internet. With this software installed, you can manage desktop devices from an Android smartphone or tablet. This tool is widely used for a variety of purposes, such as providing technical support, accessing files, synchronizing multiple devices, and more.

TeamViewer Remote Control enhances productivity, provides flexibility, and supports immediate problem-solving through its comprehensive set of accessible and secure features. This software's cross-platform operability and robust security measures make it a good alternative to AnyDesk Remote Control and Citrix Workspace

Out and about

Setting up TeamViewer Remote Control is simple and safe. All you need to do is install the PC or Mac version of TeamViewer and then grab the identification number and password generated by it. Enter these data into the TeamViewer Free app on your phone or tablet, and then it pairs the systems, giving you remote access over any internet connection.

If you are worried about security, there is no need to be. You don’t have to turn off your firewall or virus protection to use TeamViewer, and it utilizes some of the highest security standards to keep the connection protected (256 Bit AES Session Encoding and 2048 Bit RSA Key Exchange if you understand such things).

Once connected, you can use all of your computer's functions as if you were sitting at it, using all of its installed programs and accessing files and documents stored there. If you need a document locally, it is also possible to transfer between the devices

Other important functionalities

With TeamViewer Remote Control, you can set up unattended access on desktop devices. This means you can access the desktop without the need for someone to be present on the other end to accept the connection. This is particularly useful for administering servers or providing after-hours support. Even if the device is powered off, if Wake-on-LAN is enabled and properly configured, you can turn on the machine with your remote device.

In addition, if the remote desktop has multiple monitors, this application allows you to switch between them easily. The tool also includes a chat feature, and sometimes voice communication is available, making it easier to communicate with a remote user if required. Furthermore, the remote application allows you to perform system updates, install applications, and resolve issues on the connected device as if you were using it directly.

Compromise

Of course, controlling your computer from a touchscreen device does come with some issues. Without a mouse’s right-click, virtual keyboards, and a number of keys seen on their computer counterparts, the app has to implement a virtual button to bring up digital equivalents of these vital missing functions. These include a Ctrl+Alt+Del button because your computer can still crash when you are using the free version of the application.

Apart from those features, there is a slider to help you zoom in and out of your desktop, vital on smaller screens. You can also optimize the service from its settings, changing the speed of data transfer and storing frequently used connections. 

If you always need everything with you

With TeamViewer Remote Control, remote maintenance of PCs and Macs from your mobile device is easy. Indeed, using the virtual keys is slower than a physical keyboard, but this is a small price to pay for versatility. It is the perfect app if you regularly find yourself maintaining unattended computers (such as servers) or helping less tech-savvy family members with their computer problems.
