How can I provide remote support to my end-users?
You can provide attended remote support (remote support when an end-user is present on the remote side) to an end-user by creating a session via TeamViewer Remote and sharing the session link with them via chat, WhatsApp, or email.

Why should I use session links instead of my TeamViewer ID and password?
Session links provide you with a safer, easier way to connect. Sharing passwords is outdated; it is more secure to directly share a session link via chat, WhatsApp, or email.
What is the difference between the full TeamViewer Remote client and the TeamViewer Remote web app?
The full client is the complete version of TeamViewer Remote. It offers the full range of features and needs to be installed on your device to be used.
Download the full client here: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/
The web app is an online-only version of TeamViewer Remote. It offers outgoing connections the same experience as the full client on any web-enabled device.

Can I still connect via IP or a device name?
No. Both the TeamViewer Remote full client and web app require a TeamViewer account to connect. Connecting to devices that exclusively accept LAN connections is not supported.
However, it is possible to
- use the classic TeamViewer full client for offline LAN connections
and
- use the TeamViewer Remote web app for online connections
offering the best of both worlds.
