Switch sides with partner - Please bring it back

Hi @Steevan,

Welcome to the TeamViewer Community! 🌍

Is the icon greyed out for a connection with only one device or any devices?

The first step we advise you to take would be to check out a specific setting on the remote device.

Once you have access to the Advanced settings:

1. Go to Advanced settings for connections to this computer.
2. Set up Custom settings in Access Control and click on Configure...
3. For the option Change sides allowed, select Allowed.
4. Click on OK to save the changes.

Let us know if this could help you! 🙂

Best,

Jen

Is this available with TeamViewer Remote Access if the other person has free version?

Hello @BLACKSWANN8 

Thank you for your post.

First make sure you are signed in to your licensed account prior to the connection. 

Once verified, in a licensed connection you can find Switch Sides With Partner in the Communicate tab

Here are some articles that can assist with both the Windows and MacOS TeamViewer remote control toolbars as well!
TeamViewer Remote Control Toolbar (Windows) | TeamViewer Remote Control Toolbar (MacOS)

so i have the paid version and i can't find the switch sides button. 

and it would be very helpful 

i'm training some of my team and allowing them to see my screen as I work through training with them would be oh so amazing. (used to be there looked for it and its gone)

Hi Jeff, 

Thank you for your post.

As you can see in this comment from our Community Manager Esther, we removed the switch sides functionality for the free version. 

Thank you for your understanding. If there are any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us again.

All the best,
Natascha
