Remove Side Menu/Icon

wesssin

Hello,

I'd like to remove the side icon/menu tab from the bottom right corner of my view. I've searched in the advanced settings and cannot find an option to remove it. I've attached an image of the icon. Please let me know if this can be done. I have windows 10 and I suppose the latest version of Teamviewer as I just installed it.

Thanks.

Hi @wesssin,

There is no function that enables you to have TeamViewer running completely in the background.

Even if the application is running as a Windows service in the background, TeamViewer is always visible by means of an icon in the system tray. After establishing a connection there is always a small control panel visible above the system tray. Therefore, TeamViewer is intentionally unsuitable for covertly monitoring computers or employees.

This allows users to make sure that no sensitive data is shown on their screen during a TeamViewer session.
