Rearrange Tabs and "remerge" Tabs

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Currently the Tabs for TeamViewer are not very well thought through. It happens a lot that when switching through several Tabs, that at some point you "pull out" a Tab. Meaning you disconnect that Tab into a new window. From this point on it is impossible to bring it back into the main window. Just like you can do on your browser. This is super annoying.

Also it would be great if we were able to rearrange the tabs just like in a browser. So grabbing one tab and pulling it to the front or the back.

This would immensly help and improve productivity.

This is ridiculous that TeamViewer didn't implement this when they introduced the half -**bleep** tabs option.

This is just another demonstration of how naive and incompetent the UI/UX development team a TeamViewer are. I'm genuinely disgusted at the lack basics in the UX/UI.

Every other tabbed interface software allows you to move the tabs around. You can pull the tab off into a new window, and merge it back into the same original window, or another tabbed window. I'm quite sure this has been requested since tabs were first introduced and has gone nowhere.

Yeees please! I also think this very annoying 🙄 when you accidently grabs a tab and you get two windows instead of one... 😣seems VERY logical to be able to bring them toghether again...😉

Looking forward for an update of this 👍️

Happens daily to me. Have to disconnect and reconnect to put them back into 1 window. Merge needs to work like every other mature application

I completely agree with the frustrations shared here. The inability to remerge tabs after accidentally pulling them into a new window is a significant inconvenience, especially for those of us who rely on TeamViewer daily for support or multitasking.

Yes, please. I am working in support and using Teamviewer all day.

BLRRR

Any news on this? Apparently not. This **bleep** happened to me twice in a few minutes now and i'm so fed up with Teamviewer.

Still not fixed.

This is beyond frustrating and something that disrupts my workflow throughout each day. I've never seen drag and drop tabs that function like this and struggle to imagine even a single use-case where tabs swapping with one another is more useful than dragging and dropping a tab to INSERT it between two tabs, exactly where needed and without displacing other tabs in the process.

When using TeamViewer to remote into multiple machines at once, it is crucial for me to keep the tabs consistently ordered so that I don't end up working on the wrong machine by mistake. If I want to move a tab from the end to somewhere in the middle of that ordered group, it trades places with a tab that was in the middle and sends it to the end. I am then forced to tediously rearrange EVERY tab between it and the end of the group in order to get them back in their proper order. So to move a single tab, I end up having to move at least half of them.

PLEASE, for the love of all that is decent and good, update drag-and-drop functionality to insert the tab between others rather than swapping places with one of them.

As mentioned by others above, it is equally infuriating to have tabs pop OUT of the window while trying to rearrange and then being forced to close the session and reconnect in order to get it all back into the main window (And then repeat the previously described process to situate the tab properly). On the best of days, I lose at least 30 minutes to manually micro-managing tabs in TeamViewer rather than getting my work done.
