Hi there,

Thanks for your report here on our Community.

First of all, I am sorry to hear that your roommate does not respect your privacy! While I can´t prevent them from entering your room in real life, I can help you with the setup of your TeamViewer to make sure they can not connect to your devices without your permission.

Blocklist

If you know their TeamViewer account and TeamViewer ID´s you can put them on your blocklist. That prevents them from accessing your device. Read more here.

Allowlist

In addition to blocking them specifically, you can also set up an allowlist to only allow certain accounts or IDs to connect to your devices. Read more here.

Change your passwords

When your roommate knows your password, it is better to change it. Or get rid of it completely: Activate Easy Access.

More info

If you want to read more about security and how to make your TeamViewer bulletproof, I recommend reading our Security Handbook (also linked in the header of the page) and especially the article about restricting access.

I hope this info helps you. Independently from this, I hope that your roommate respects your privacy going forward in all regards.

Thanks and stay safe,

Esther
