How to migrate my devices (recommended)
We kindly ask you to migrate the new Device Management at your earliest convenience. You may choose to migrate either automatically or manually. In any case, TeamViewer will create a backup copy of your list of devices so you can go back and view your original devices if needed.
To migrate your devices to the new Device Management system, please follow the instructions in the video below.
Automated migration (recommended): Let TeamViewer automatically migrate to the Device Management for all your groups, including your current preferences and permissions. The device management can only migrate online devices. Still, if a device is offline during the migration, it will be added automatically as soon as it comes online.
- Sign in to your account via the TeamViewer Remote full client or via https://web.teamviewer.com/.
- Click the Devices list menu.
- Click the Migration Required button.
- Click Migrate devices. A popup will appear; click Migrate devices again.
