which or what do I download to use teamviewer to support family and friends

johnt

I have been using teamviewer for MANY years. I have not been able to figure how to use it anymore. I only use it to help family and friends with their computer problems. What is the link to download the right free version and if there is a separate link for anyone that I help.

Almost all the people I help are senior citizens. I would appreciate any help the community can give this 74 year old (so called expert)

Teamviewer is a very good tool. I sure would like to continue to use it.

Why has free version of Teamviewer stopped working after several years of intermittent use? I last used it in 2021 but now, in 2024 yesterday, it would not let my friend see where (at my friend's home) to enter my ID and Password so we could once again use it to help me build some sheet music.

Thanks.
