I occasionally use TeamViewer (free) to help non-technical family members who are real dummies when it comes to computers. I recently installed TeamViewer on my recently-widowed sister's PC since her husband was no longer around to help with PC issues.
But today, on our first try at helping her, within several seconds of gaining control of her PC a message popped up on my PC saying: "Connection blocked after timeout.
Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license.
Connections to this partner will be blocked until 15:29"
But after waiting till the nominated time and trying to reconnect, the same message appeared immediately (no connection established), with a new, LATER time. So it was impossible to connect.
Despite installed TeamViewer only a few weeks ago, her PC said it needed updating, so she did (I think, though each time she now runs it, it says she needs admin permission for program to do 'something' – I don't remember what she said the message was). She runs Win10 Home 64-bit, and I run Win7Pro64 with TeamViewer Version: 15.19.5 (32-bit).
Any suggestions about how I can successfully support my sister with her PC issues?
Thanks,
Daniel

I AM A FREE USER - I'VE BEEN BLOCKED BY MSTAKE.
Please help me get my free account open. I need to pay my bills on my desktop in another city.
TEAM VIEWER has locked my account because I logged in from a Hotel's router - thinking I am a busness.
I am not using TEAM VIEWER for business.
Each time I try to send the message FORM to open my account - it will NOT populate the PDF. to send.

It kicks us out of Team viewer from each user after two minutes of use. Can you turn this off for all 5 licenses because we use support with a 5-channel corporate license?

I have completed the necessary form two or three times now.
Each time I do, TV sends me a message a few days later telling me:
Thank you very much for sending your self-declaration of private use to us.
We have successfully reset the TeamViewer ID(s) you submitted via the form provided earlier.
We acknowledge that you are using TeamViewer for private use only on these devices.
BUT
Next time I try to connect to one of my home network computers, I again get the message that I am suspected of using TV for a business, and I am cut off yet again.
In the last month or two, I have spent longer being cut off that I have been cot on.

Hi,
I'm interested in to start a new session and after the session is closed to get the duration of the session via api or via local information. Is this possible?

Hi All, sorry for the Noob question, i get kicked off after around 10 seconds of loggin into a private personal machine. This is a free version.
Never happened before is this due to a policy change ?
Thanks guys

Hi,
I use teamviewer to help my mom and dad with their devices.
I use a mac with Big Sur on it (OS 11.4). I have the latest version of teamviewer.
My mom has an android phone and a windows pc and all goes well on both.
My dad has an iPhone. Everything is up to date on it.
It used to be that when I connect to my dad's phone and he moves away from the quicksupport screen, to go e.g. to a different app, I get "apparently" disconnected from him within about a minute but a separate window opens up on my mac and I continue to see his screen on it.
But recently, this window stopped popping up and I simply get disconnected.
I thought it may be because teamviewer thought I'm using it commercially. I went through the reset process, but nothing changed. I still get disconnected almost right after my dad goes to any other app than quicksupport. (If he stays on the quicksupport window, I stay connected!)
Any ideas on what's going on and how I can fix it?
Thanks!

TeamViewer keeps closing after a few seconds from launch. Before any connection to the partner.

Hello. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Back to this, as I am sure this falls under false advertising, but as I am not paying for it, I can not complain. But seriously are they trying every angle to frustrate the legitimate users of personal use into just paying it. It is like a g/f who nags you for days to buy her new shoes even though it is a casual non committal relationship. She just knows you will give in. So back to my point. My screen shots sum it up.

I use teamviewer to monitor my two boys' computers and to help my mother and father with their laptop, android phone, and iPhone. I connect from my Mac. Everything is up to date on all devices. All the devices work fine except for the iPhone. When I connect to the iPhone it works fine as long as my dad has the quicksupport window open on his phone. But as soon as he opens a different app, teamviewer disconnects. It used to be that when teamviewer disconnects, another window pops up on my Mac and has his phone screen and I can continue helping him (can't control his iPhone, but can at least tell him what buttons/icons to press, etc). This no longer happens. Teamviewer simply disconnects and that's it.
Since the only thing I found on the Knowledge Hub is that this may have to do with Commercial Use being detected(!), I have tried to get the machine ids reset a few times already. Each time, I got an email from Teamviewer saying they reset the ids successfully. But the issue still remained! So I'm suspecting the issue is something else. But I do not know what else to do.
I already asked this question about a week ago and my question in got moved to the "Commercial Use Suspected" thread. So here I am. Trying again!!!
Any ideas on what may be happening? In particular, the PCs and android phone seem to be working fine. The issue only occurs when connecting to the iPhone. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

And it is STILL not working !!
I have tried a different browser, AND a CHAT session AND renaming the PDF to pdf
and I notice that the 15 odd complaints since Nov 2020 ... don't seem to have got any attention.
After 3 hours of trying I have an email detailing the problems ... but to whom can I send it ??

Hi all. I hope this helps.
I have been on with support and although they have many "theories" as to why this is happening, none of them are factual solutions or answers.
I have been a paid business subscriber for over a year now, and maybe 30% of the time the product (for mobile) actually works .
There is literally no rhyme or reason to this. I just completed testing, myself, with 3 iPhones from 3 different people. All are running iOS 14.6. 2 are iPhone 11's, one is an iPhone 12 Pro (Mine).
When connecting to either of the iPhone 11's, it worked perfectly. But when I connected to mine, I got the "TeamViewer session will be disconnected in 1 minute! Screen sharing will continue." drop down banner. And it kicked me out of my own iPhone (I was logged in through my Mac) after 15 more seconds. I connected again, and the same thing happened. I waited a few minutes and connected again, and what do you know...... for literally no reason at all I was able to stay connected for 10 minutes.
So this PROVES that there is no real reason for why it will and won't connect to other phones or iPads. You just have to get lucky it seems.
By the way, I was on a VERY stable wifi network at my office for all of this testing.
I would LOVE to hear if this aded info was able to help any of you. I might request a refund unless they can really give me a solid answer. And he REALLY frustrating part is that when I call support, the first time in March of 2020, they blamed Apple's iOS software and the security. Not this time, they finally admit that they are aware of "some issues" with it, but gave me no answer. They gave me a ticket, and I would guess I am still not going to get a solid answer. And what's more frustrating is when you call support and ask them if they are aware of this issue, they always act confused and say "no". But any basic google search will tell you that this issue has been going on for years. I mean....just look at this thread alone.
TeamViewer. I support your product. I am a paying customer. Please do better with your support. Maybe say to me "Yeah look. The mobile remote product that we sell is not a great product. It only works some of the time. We don't know why." At least that would be honest.

I start having the same problem, "Your connection has been blocked because of very high activity level". I only work on a couple of computers usually for updates and maintenance. I have used the free version of TeamViewer for years and had no problems. I don't understand where the high activity level is in reference to since I only use TeamViewer slightly. I do have two other laptops that I work from at different times.

I cant even stay connected for 15 seconds before I get booted! im on free version and only have 3 computers on my list, all of them are mine for work. Office, Home and Laptop... for the past few weeks, I cant even stay connected for 15 seconds before the session is terminated.
...what the heck happened to TV?? why is TV always so inconsistent with it's Free version, what we're allowed to do, how long can we do it, etc... is TV intentionally trying to **bleep** off their customers?!!?
For crying out loud, I can't even find an email on their website without going on a digging session!!
How does a company provide a subscription service software but makes it so hard to get in contact with anyone.... unless of course you pay the premium.

I have seem several recent mentions on other forums that TV free is no longer a viable option for private individuals who use it for supporting family members or friends - connections being shut off within a minute or so after some Commercial Use warning shows up. Some even have had TV Support 'reset' their accounts to regain access, but again, shortly after, same Commercial Use disconnects.
I have not used TV for a bit, but am not wanting to use it to support a child going off to living my herself for the first time. I need a reliable tool, something to access when needed to lend a hand (which I assume will be frequent because she is no really computer savy). I do not have time to test TV out now (she is leaving in two weeks) to see if concerns are valid.
Please advise.

After 4 years of post and 306 pages of problems - what is Teamviewer going to do to improve the situation.
I appreciate that these are 'non paying' users but they are also 'potential influencers' - and you have approx 3000 upset 'potential influencers' !
In the meantime I wait and wait and wait for some response to my request for re-evaluation of use.

Hello, everyone,
I have just found how to bypass the disconnect problem, I am using the TeamViewer for a long time and still using it for free 😁
The solution is to renew your ID 😎
Let me know if anyone needs help.
