Hi @Kiraishere,

Welcome to the TeamViewer😊

We’d like to clarify how the “Close to tray menu” option works in TeamViewer’s settings.

🔹 When enabled (ticked):
After launching the TeamViewer app, it will appear as a window. If you manually close it using the ✖ button in the top-right corner, the app will continue running in the background. You’ll still see the TeamViewer icon in your system tray, allowing you to reopen the app quickly.

🔹 When disabled (unticked):
If you close the app from the top-right corner, it will fully exit and disappear from the system tray.

With this setting enabled, TeamViewer stays active in the system tray even after you close the main window.
If you're looking for a feature that allows TeamViewer to start minimized to the tray automatically (without showing the main window at launch), you're welcome to share your idea in the Idea Hub on the Community. It’s a space where users can suggest new features and vote on others’ ideas.

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out!☺️
