Remote display too small to see.

This is a screen shot of what I see. Teamviewer version 12... I have tried adjusting resolutions an scaling but nothing helps. The teamviewer session goes full screen on the local computer but the remore screen is too small to read and use.

Thank you for any help..

I never change the screen resolution in the OS because it screws up my desktop layouts, those delicate true works of art...

In order to enlarge the tiny size of Teamviewer remote hosts, after lots of swearing and tearing my hair out, I settled on viewing one remote window at a time, not the full desktop. Here's the procedure (Teamviewer v15.47.3, and "Options->Remote control->Open new connections in tabs" checkbox ON):

in the Windows "Properties" panel for Teamviewer or its shortcut (use the context menu), on the "Compatibility" tab, click on "Change high DPI settings"
At the bottom of the new panel that opens, check the box "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and
Set the "Scaling performed by" menu to "System (enhanced)". Other settings in this panel should be OFF.
After connecting to a host, check that on the top Teamviewer toolbar, the first three choices in the "View" menu are at their default: "Scaling = Scaled", "Quality = Auto Select", and "Screen Resolution = Optimal Resolution". That's the actual resolution of the remote screen, or maybe the closest Teamviewer can get to it, assuming a Windows scaling of 150% on the remote
Right side of the top Teamviewer toolbar, find the "Enter Full Screen" icon (four spreading arrows) and click it
Top teamviewer toolbar "View->Select screen content->Select single window"
Click on the remote window of interest. The smaller it is on the remote desktop, the bigger it will be enlarged. If after selecting it, you maximize it, its content will become smaller. If you minimize or close it, you're back to the desktop and must go through steps 6 and 7.

The optimal size for that remote window before doing steps 6 and 7 seems to be the one wide enough to let you read/view the whole width of the relevant content, and then the height should be adjusted so that the window proportions (aspect ratio, width divided by height) matches approximately the "Optimal Resolution" screen proportions. Guesstimate it.

I am having this problem when connecting my laptop to an android phone. There is no " view or scale " Have tried

everything I know.

I know I am late to the show but I was able to fix this resolution changing by turning off HDR in my display settings. I then set the resolution within Windows settings, then it updated for TeamViewer to the same resolution. I'm on Windows 11 but my remote PC is Windows 10 that had the HDR turned on.

I have exactly same issue when connecting from my Dell 4K 26” monitor to remote macbook air.

You can hardly read the remote screen, and as you an see from screenshot below I can't change to a better resolution.

Any suggestions?

I'm still having the problem (MacOS 11.1; 16-inch=3072 × 1920 / TeamViewer 15.13.7 ): I would appreciate any suggestion.

Setting view mode to Scaled worked, it just did not look like it did. With it scaled if I resized or maimized the remote connection window it would scale aproprietly to the size of my display which is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Thank you @coder509 !!! I would have been spinning my wheels or trying more complicated options

I was able to fix that by clicking on view -> screen resolution -> optimal screen resolution. Or you can click on view and then choose the 1:1 scaling and switch to full screen mode.

japzone

@ups0This was the solution. Thanks!

Changed this and my 1080p source now properly fills my 1080p client without the blurriness of Scaled mode.

When viewing the other screen (i.e. remoted in), click on "View", and "Scaled" on the left, in the "Scaling" section. Nice fix. Definitely works for me.

Anyone have ideas

When I connect to my brother-in-laws PC his scrren is so small that it is very hard for me to read his scrren and crontrol it. We both are running the free version 14.7.

His resolution is set at 1920 by 1080 and my screen resoultion is set at 3840 by 2160. I tried changing my resolution while I was online with hin but it did not change anything.

Can you suggest how I can make is screen larger?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I fixed it on my Surface Book2 using a manifest file dropped into the programfiles(x86)\teamviewer\teamviewer.exe.manifest - same fix works for Remtoe desktop MSTSC

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<asmv3:application>
<asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
<ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware xmlns:ms_windowsSettings="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">false</ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware>
</asmv3:windowsSettings>
</asmv3:application>

</assembly>

When it does, the content on the Teamviewer application on the controlling PC goes little, showing that the remote PC will do a similar thing. I attempted ctrl + on the controlling PC before I associated with the remote PC and it worked once

The problem could be because your local computer has a scaled display setting.
Usually, laptops have a standard set of 150% scaling.

If you change your scaling to 100% and reboot your computer, the remote source should fill your screen if both local and remote have the same screen resolution.

How to change your desktop scaling:
Right-click any empty space on your desktop and select Display settings towards the bottom of the context menu.

Where is this "View" "Scale" option at?

lencooley

The VIEW -:> SCALE option did the trick! Thanks, so much.

The solution to fix this problem is through a setting on the Compatibility tab of the program shortcut’s Properties window. Right click on the TeamViewer shortcut and left click on the Properties command from the popup menu. In the Properties window, select the Compatibility tab and then locate and select the check box for “Override high DPI scaling behavior” (Windows 10) or “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings” (Windows 7). In Windows 10, there is also an additional option for how the scaling is performed (System, System (Enhanced), or Application). For me “System (Enhanced)” or "System" worked while "Application" did not. My display is ~3000x2000 and the remote ones do not go beyond 1920x1080

02 July 2018 and th small screen attack continues. Suddenly Win10Pro on 3200x1800 system cannot properly display the system that is 1600x1050.
This is a disqualifying problem.
Teamviewer - how come this happens. Please stop pushing everything into the telephone android keyhole.

This is not the solution - I am using Teamview for personal use and I have a 1920x1080 laptop controlling a 1920 x 1080 desktop. The scaling issue seems to randomly occur. When it does, the text on the Teamviewer app on the controlling computer goes small, indicating that the remote computer is going to do the same thing. I tried ctrl + on the controlling computer before I connected to the remote computer and it worked once.

What was the solution?

Thanks

I adjusted the screen resolution on the remote windows machine to 1920 x 1080 and it fits the screen on my touch bar mac book and iphone X now.

JBurton

What is the solution? It is very frustrating to have paid for this software and I can't use it because the remote session screens are way too small to see.

BadRumTik

HAS THIS BEEN RESOLVED ? I am having the same issue!

RonG

Has there been any resolution to this. I am unable to read my clients screens. Adjusting matching screen resolution is not a good fix for my clients accross the country??????

hjr007

you need to set the display settings thesame on both systems you are using. I just chaged my laptop display to the same as my desktop display and after rebooting my laptop it works.

btw Iam using windows 10 on both machines
