1) Download and Installation

The first step towards remotely controlling one device from another is to install the TeamViewer full version on the controlling and another full version or a QuickSupport module (no installation necessary) on the controlled device.

To download the full version, visit teamviewer.com/en/download.

Then, click on Download TeamViewer and run the .exe file, which will look like this (on Windows):


To simplify the process, stick on default installation and click on Accept - finish

 

2) The Remote Device

On the remote device, you have two options depending on how you plan on using TeamViewer.

  1. If you’d like to initiate remote connections from this device, too – be it now or in the future – just repeat the full version installation.
  2. Run a TeamViewer QuickSupport module for single use.

The advantage of QuickSupport modules is their simplicity: They don’t require an installation, but you just run them.

To get a QuickSupport module, just go to either get.teamviewer.com, where you can enter a session code which can be generated using a TeamViewer full version on the controlling computer or connect.teamviewer.com and it will be downloaded automatically. Then run the .exe file. To hand over control to another TeamViewer instance, give the supporter Your ID and Password.


For Remote Control purposes, you can find   
  your ID and the password from here

 

3) Establish a Connection

With both ends of the connection using the full version of TeamViewer, the partner that wants to remotely control a device types in the TeamViewer ID and Password of the device they want to control into their own TeamViewer.


A TeamViewer ID is unique, will always stay the same for every device and can be used to contact that device from any other instance of TeamViewer. Passwords are generated randomly with every start of TeamViewer.

As soon as you entered your partner’s info into your own TeamViewer and click Connect to partner, the remote session will start.
