    Same here. Customer services has fallen apart of late. I only use it to look at another PC upstairs a couple of times a day at most and for just a few minutes. It keeps accusing me of commercial use and timing me out after a minute! I followed the instructions to re-instate my account and it was ok for a couple of weeks then reverted. I emailed Customer Service twice but no reply. They used to be really good at replying. What is going on Teamviewer?

    What causes the system to timeout for a personal connection?

    I'm getting the same problem. I'm using Team Viewer to connect to my Dad's, my son's, and my daughter's computers for remote support. Just recently, I've been getting the "session timeout" after about 30 seconds and the connection closes. At first, I could switch from the desktop to my laptop and get through and keep a connection, but I can't even to that now. What is going on??? This has been happening for about 3 weeks now. I do not have a commercial account and that issue has been previously cleared. Please help. My dad is 89 and has no other support.

    It looks like we are all in the same boat. Same issue here 30-60 seconds and then connection closes and I'm kicked out. Uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times same issue. Is this to get us to purchase the commercial version?

    Same here! I use TV to control mine and my kids phones because I have ALS and can't physically hold them anymore! Needless to say, disconnecting me within 1 minute is VERY frustrating because I have no other way to use my phone! Customer service is non existent unless you pay the exorbitant licensing fee!

    I have received the following error "Connection blocked after a timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked" when helping my elderly grandparents with filling out their medicare applications. How do I reinstate my access using my free non-commercial license? I cannot seem to find where to contact Teamviewer support to submit a ticket. I can show pictures of the personal computers I am trying to control to help my grandparents. My free non-commercial license is being used for personal reasons only and yet I am blocked out.

    *watches tumbleweeds* - hello? is this thing on?

  • I have a personal license only. I'm literally trying to connect to the computer across the room and it keeps kicking me out. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

    Same. Literally have never used it for anything other than getting help from a friend or vice versa, and connecting with my phone to access files while out and about.

    I am having the same issue and am using the application for the same reason. I'll bookmark this thread to see if there is any resolution.

    I have the same issue, it only recently started happening and oddly enough, from my phone i can connect fine to both computers (one running ubuntu 20.04 and teamviewer host and the other windows 10 and teamviwer. It seems to only be an issue when i try to connect from my main computer.

    Got me too. This is the second time in the past year this has happened.


    Honestly for non-commercial use I'm just going to swap over to **third party product**. I'm tired of dealing with team viewers **bleep**.

    Thank you TEAMVIEWER for your timely response with a reset link. I have actioned the link and will await the reset activity completion.

    I have the FREE version which I DO NOT use for ANY commercial reasons. Mostly I use it to help a friend who is legally blind and lives 1000 miles away. I have been using the free version for over 10 years and never had a problem until the last month. Now, every time I try to log on to help my friend, I connect, and then 20-30 seconds later TV disconnects and show a "session times out " message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it; did not help.

    What the heck is going on?

    By the way, I am 77 years old and I do not nor ever have used TV for commercial use.

  • I use TV to connect to my home desktop which isn't connected to a screen. The desktop is to backup my home photos and files. I also use TV to help my mom with her computer across the country. Suddenly after being connected for one minute I get the error that the session has timed out. If I try to reconnect it says that immediate connections are blocked. It takes about 5 minutes before I can reconnect again. Is there something wrong with my account?


    Thank you

    I'm getting the same thing on my PC as soon as I launch an app via citrix. Started on Sunday and previously I've had no issues for weeks.

    Clearly Teamviewer either ignores the forums, can’t be bothered to respond or are so busy trying to fix what ever the problem is that they don’t respond. Anyway, I think trying to resolve this vis the forum is a waste of time. Have a look on the support page and call them tomorrow when they are open. I tried to send the ‘I’m playing Fair’ form, but it asks for your postcode and them rejects a U.K. postcode because it is not only digits.

    I am now getting kicked off either computer, one from home or work after only about a minute or so and I've been using the free service for about a year or so! What gives?

    This is happening to me too - haven't used TV in a while but now sessions get disconnected after about one minute. I've been a TV user for years.

    I have the same issue. After getting the message "appears to be used for commercial purposes", I went to the reset link, filled in the form, and activated the "generate PDF" button. Nothing happens. Seems like a grab to get legitimate free license holders to buy commercial license. There are plenty of other free options. I have been using teamviewer for a few years and like it but I have spent hours on this now. I think it is time to give up, unless someone out there has a solution. Thanks

    Hello Support. I have filled out your "reset my id" form 3x now, and i have gotten back 3x that my id can been fixed and the incorrect flag removed.
