32-bit or 64-bit client

TeamViewer provides 32-bit and 64-bit versions of our desktop clients on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

You should install the version that matches the architecture of your operating system:

  • For 32-bit operating systems, you must install the 32-bit version of TeamViewer Remote
  • For 64-bit operating systems, we recommend installing the 64-bit version of TeamViewer Remote - however, the 32-bit version will also work on a 64-bit operating system

📌Notes:

  • It is not possible to run both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TeamViewer Remoteon the same computer. One version must be uninstalled before installing the other.
  • The 64-bit versions of TeamViewer Remote allow for more computer memory to be used if needed. This is especially beneficial for heavy usage scenarios with several TeamViewer sessions running simultaneously, connecting to remote systems with high-resolution displays.
  • If you update from a 32-bit to a 64-bit version your TeamViewer ID will stay the same.

Available clients

TeamViewer provides the following clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux:

Windows 

  • 32-bit versions of all TeamViewer clients

📌Note: 64-bit versions of the Full version; 64-bit versions of TeamViewer Host and QuickSupport are coming soon.

macOS 

  • 64-bit versions of all TeamViewer clients.

📌Note: We don't provide 32-bit versions on macOS because the operating system itself only exists in 64-bit.

Linux 

How to switch TeamViewer from 32-bit to 64-bit on Windows 

To switch from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version of the Full client, please follow these steps:

  1. Uninstall the 32-bit version - do not check the box for Remove settings
  2. Download the 64-bit version from the TeamViewer website. 
  3. Install the 64-bit version by following the instructions on the screen.
  4. Please do not forget to sign in again with your account if you have used one before!

📌Note: There is no automatic update from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version. You can decide on your own whether you want to switch to the 64-bit version as long as you have a 64-bit edition of Windows.

Registry paths

The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TeamViewer use different registry paths. When switching from 32-bit to 64-bit, all existing registry settings are copied to the new path.

🚨 Important: If you are using scripts to provide specific settings for new installations, you should carefully adapt your scripts to the correct registry path:

32-bit registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer

64-bit registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer
