Commercial use - Connection time out

  • The YouTube video just suggests a complete uninstall and deleting the TV directory in Windows. It doesn't work for me. Guess I'll try resetting my account ID.... again... for the 3rd time in about 12 months.

    If policing "private use" causes nothing but issues then just abandon it. Seriously, why even bother? It fails regularly, and just makes the whole platform look flawed. Who would want to spend money on something that unreliable?

    Something seriously crippled the whole platform since March 23rd or 24th. Tons of people are having this problem. Seems to be no reason or fix for it. TV is basically useless now.

  • It seems as though this released coincides with a LOT of users getting "Session Timed Out" errors within 60 seconds of connecting to the host machine, and often much sooner than that. The support forums are flooded with people having this issue, all suddenly within the last few days, including myself. I used remote connect just fine on March 21st, but the last 3 days TV has been utterly useless. Is this just a coincidence? No one is answering any questions in the forums.

  • I am having the same problem too. Connecting to Androids and other Windows PCs I get disconnected in about one minute.

    I use TVfree once every few months to help out my 97yr Dad.

    Today, after doing a couple of reboots, it is limiting my sessions and connects.

    I WOULD GLADLY PAY A REASONABLE AMOUNT - BUT $20/MO TO CONNECT TO MY DAD ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS IS WAY TOO MUCH.

    TV COME UP WITH A PER DAY OR SOME OTHER REASONABLE RATE FOR US "FREE" USERS

  • Wake up Team Viewer. You have a serious problem with your service, free or not if you can't use it, it's worthless.

    I have been using teamviewer to manage my server that I use for my FoundryVTT D&D 5e game, mostly I just use the file transfer to copy images that might be nice for my next game with my friends.


    However it is not working today, I get a message that the maximum session duration is reached after less than a minute.


    This made me want to subscribe, figuring the cost would be like $5 a year to link two computers together, then I discovered it was $50 a month!


    So I am obviously not the intended user of this product.... my workplace is all linux anyway. Unless this is a mistake, I think I will finding some other alternative.

  • Any one help with this it keeps popping up. I'll wait and then be able to get back in but then it kicks me out again. I have free account.

    I live in a seniors' community and have been using Team Viewer for many years helping residents. All that I do is volunteer and I do not receive a dime. Today I have tried three times to connect to a senior resident and all three times I have been disconnected within 15 seconds of establishing a remote connection. As I recall, this same thing happened a couple of years ago and it was because Team Viewer thought that I was doing it commercially. I would appreciate help. Thank you. Ken

    I cam connect to desktop from my laptop. I recently went back to work from being remote for one year and I can not stay connect to my desktop at home.

  • why am i timing out after less then 30 seconds. Then I have to wait 1 minute continuously.

  • Has anyone had a problem with Teamviewer x64 throwing them out of a remote connection, after about 5 minutes or when you scroll the mouse?

  • I've been using Teamviewer free for years. I connect from my desktop to my laptop, that's it, and I've never had an issue. Now all of a sudden my session gets kicked out after about a minute and it's really really annoying. Why the *bleep* does it keep doing this? What happened?

    I continue to get this on 2 PCs that I've introduced this on. The 3 different PCs never have this issue?? 


    How would I fix these also machines so it doesn't break following 5 minutes.

    the essential Host module or the full form.

    Happening for me too. I'm definitely not a commercial user. Super frustrating.

    Add another person to the list here....Disconnected almost immediately. At one point, got a message that I was flagged for commercial use, which is ridiculous. Strictly personal use only between my own devices as well as to help troubleshoot my grandmother's machine.

    Hi experts,

    Recently, every time I use TeamViewer, I get a timeout after just a few seconds.

    What can be the reason for this and how can you fix it?


    regards

  • Me too!

  • It worked for me just on the local, it only takes a couple minutes to download a nd install.

  • I am also having this issue.

    The teamviewer keeps disconnecting and saying timed out then blocked for about 2 mins then does same again.

    Tried a couple connections to my son and friend and same thing.

    I've had similar in the past because it has thought I'm a commercial users but I'm not.

    Just some pc's around the house, some old ones that don't exist no more and I help friends and family now and then online.

    Before I remember there being somewhere to report the problem but can't see it this time.

    Can anyone direct me to the right place to get this fixed?

    Thanks,

    Andy.

    I think it started for me on latest update. Used to be somewhere you could let them know.

    I have the same problem.

  • Hi! The same problem. After seconds timed out. The problem is that my father resides in a old people home and the visits are prohibited. (COVID). Any help ? Thx. Jordi

  • The same thing is happening to me. I am trying to help my grandmother in another state. Then I can't even log back on for another 15 min.

    I have this issue as well trying to connect to my father in Texas from Michigan to help him with things. Seems to work ok if I connect to my office pc from my laptop but not across the internet. Session with my father ends quickly and then when try to reconnect get the following: Connection blocked after timeout. Seems like have to wait about 10 minutes to get a remote session again and then within 30 seconds the session ends.

  • Something must have happened in the March 23rd "security update", the forums here are packed with people having the same issue and no one from TV is responding. I guess this is their way of scrapping the private use version and pushing people to the full service. But who would waste the money on a product that seems to completely tank every few months?

    Having the same problem and can't directly reconnect for 1 min according to message but does not work at all.

    so i just can connect for ~30 seconds and have to wait more than 15 mins for next try -.-

    when i try it from my smartphone it says that it could be commercial use but i'm not allowed to upload the pdf for clarification...

    very disappointing because i already had this issue solved a few years ago when i used 10+ pcs (it was an experiment) and now i'm just connecting to my own devices and the one of my aunt and grandma...

    do you guys get a similar message when trying to connect from smartphone?

    Want to figure out if it's the same bug or something i really have to discuss with TeamViewer
