Change Language (Mac to Windows)
I am using a Mac with English and Greek keyboard. In order to change language I use the crtl-space keyboard shortcut. When I am connected to another pc I cannot use this shortcut to change language. Also if I change the remote computer's language using shift-alt combination, my Mac continues to send characters in my mac's selected language. This started happening after a TeamViewer update during November or December.
My OS is macOS Catalina v10.15.7 and I have installed the latest version of TeamViewer
I also tried a clean installation of TeamViewer

Thanks for posting and Welcome to our Community.
I think there was a small change in the behavior: If you want to change the keyboard on your Mac while being connected to a Windows device, you need to disable the Setting Send system key combinations under Actions first. See:
If the setting is enabled all your shortcuts will be transferred to the Windows machine.
If disabled, your local shortcuts stay on the mac (except for Command C/V).
Hope that helps,

The option was not enabled.
I tried enabling and then disabling and now it seems that it is working fine
I hope that I will have to change the option in every connection.. 😅
Thanks for the quick response!

Thanks for the feedback! Looks like it needed a small "reboot" 😅 - I´ll pass the info to the team so that they are aware!
Thanks again,
