Dear users and customers.

We still experience technical issues with the database servers that lead to interrupted services. We are in the process of getting the service back up.

Sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Update to come.

Best, Esther

    Can we get an explanation of what the issue was, why it occured and what mitigating factors are being put in place to avoid such a major outage in the future?

    This is of serious concern as we couldn't support our customers during this period, and these outages seem to occur more often recently (excluding those you don't even report about)!

    Hi,

    Thank you for your message.

    I recommend you to restart the TeamViewer service.

    -Execute "run", type "services.msc" and press OK

    -Now find TeamViewer, and restart it by doing a right click.

    Then, restart the TeamViewer application. It should work again.

    I hope this could help. If not, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Best,

    For all who are still facing issues: As my colleague Natascha wrote, please make sure to restart your TeamViewer service. 

    Thanks and best, Esther

    Dear TeamViewer Users and Customers,

    Please accept our apologies for the outage today.

    On behalf of the team here at TeamViewer I would like to thank you all for your patience and as well for reaching out to us. We know that you rely on TeamViewer for your professional and personal productivity and such an interruption of service is not what you expect to experience.

    I can assure you that everybody was working hard on getting the service up and running again as quickly as possible. Thank you also for your feedback and for sending in some words of encouragement for our tech staff who did their utmost to support you as good as possible.

    As promised in this thread, I want to keep you updated on the connectivity issue we were experiencing today (November 8th, 2018).

    • The issue was detected on November 8th around 11:10 am CET as latencies in services
    • At 11:23 am CET we informed our userbase via our status page and updates inside our community as well as via twitter
    • Our business continuity procedures identified a database service as the issue at 1.20 pm CET
    • While most of the services were up and running by 5:02 pm CET, we were fixing the last issues to make sure that all services are up and running again and now we are still monitoring the services.
    • Running sessions were not affected

    Our development team is working on making sure that this issue will not happen again.

    I and we apologize once again for the trouble this has caused you.

    Thanks again and all the best

    Thanks for information.

    To be clear.
    I had problems today, before 09:00 CET (in the morning).
    The problem was that during the connection (which was not broken), TeamViewer APP disconnected from the servers and logged out the user, and more precisely: the TVAPP window lost the contact list, logged out of the application and jumped out before the active session, which happiness did not disconnect. After less than a minute, the application logged in again and downloaded the contact list.

    Hi
    What do you mean with "down"?

    Are you signed in with your licensed account?
    Thanks,
