Multiple concurrent users in one target machine

roberto_m

Hello,

We set up TeamViewer in an Ubuntu machine that will sit in my office, and we'd like to use it to work remotely. In this machine we have multiple local user accounts, and we'd like to be able to login remotely and concurrently, ie, each to our own user account.

We have a corporate license with multiple users, so from this perspective we should be fine. We set up TeamViewer on the two separate accounts, each with our TeamViewer account (both linked to our corporate license).

Now we can both login remotely to the target machine, however we can't use separate session and access separate local accounts on the target machines. To explain more clearly, it's as if we had two mouses and two keyboards operating on the same screen.

Is there a way for us to access our separate accounts and use them concurrently?

Thank you,

Roberto

I'm a bit confused by the statement 'on the same screen'. You cannot be logged in with two users 'on the same screen', but you can of course make two TeamViewer connections to that one screen.

I believe what you are asking for is actually a connection to a virtual screen, as possible with a Windows TerminalServer and RDP connections.
We have been thinking about something similar for Linux. It would create a virtual user session with Xvfb and connect to it. However, there is little demand for this, so it's unlikely to be implemented in the near future.
