You can also try Logmein or Chrome Remote Desktop, offered by Google and very simple to implement and which also works on Android. You can also orient yourself towards Parsec if you work with Windows by diverting the orientation gaming. We cannot close our selection with quick assistance from Microsoft.

Equivalent software operating on PC PC generally offer more possibilities. By having the TeamViewer software open to your home computer, you can take control of your session at any time and use your machine from the screen of your mobile device.

TeamViewer installation and opening on PC

In this tutorial tutorial, we will present how to establish a connection to a Windows 10 PC from an Android Android smartphone . We obviously start by running the installation file on the computer, letting ourselves be guided by the very brief assistant. The Welcome Window window offers three choices: “Install”, “Install to subsequently control this computer remotely” or “Start”. Select the second line.

The three options allow you to quickly start the software to immediately establish a remote desktop connection. By choosing the “Start” option, the program will not even settle on the computer. This can be a judicious approach if you only provide a simple punctual use of the program.

By confirming that you are running TeamViewer for only personal purposes, you will have access to the free license for private use. Advanced settings offer you the possibility of modifying the destination directory, installing a printer driver and using TeamViewer VPN VPN and the Complement Reunion for Outlook.

By validating by a click on the “I accept – finish” button, you only have to wait a few seconds to reach the home page of TeamViewer. An assistant is displayed to offer to configure non -monitored access. This feature allows permanently access to the computer by assigning the device to a TeamViewer account to monitor and manage it remotely.

If you don’t need this feature immediately, you can cancel and open it later. Contrary to what is indicated, this assistant is not available in the “connection” menu, but via The “Grant easy access” link on the “remote control” page.

As soon as TeamViewer starts, he creates an identifier (ID) and a password password of remote access configuration. Thanks to these codes, you can access your computer from any device (smartphone smartphone, tablet, computer) running a teamviewer application.

Connection to the computer from a smartphone

The next step is therefore the installation on the other device, it is in our case an Android smartphone. It can be done directly on the Google Play Store or by going through our download link below, selecting the “for Android” option.

As soon as the application is opened, you are invited to enter the ID obtained during the initialization of the software on the computer. To take full control of the machine, select “Control remotely”. The “file transfer” mode is specially dedicated to sending documents between the computer and the smartphone, the two transfer directions being supported.

Of course, the application then requires entry of the associated password and immediately connects to the remote computer, on which appears a notification of new connected device. You can move the mouse by sliding your finger on the screen, but we must admit that it is not practical for software with complicated menus or to work comfortably. To do this, we recommend that you connect a bluetooth mouse to your smartphone. This greatly facilitates navigation in the explorer and in the contextual menus and makes it possible to carry out much more precise movements movements.

If you do not have Bluetooth Bluetooth mouse to connect to the smartphone, you can still use the tactile interactions provided by the TeamViewer application:

• Type a finger for a left click;
• Type and hold down for a right click;
• Type, hold on and slide to move the mouse cursor;
• Type twice to drag and drop;
• Zoom in stretching two fingers;
• Type, hold on and slide with two fingers to scroll.

These checks offer the possibility of carrying out all kinds of live actions live and remotely: using office office software, watching a streaming film, repairing an infected machine or accompanying a beginner in computer computer user.

From the control bar presents at the bottom of the application, you can open a virtual keyboard that emulates special keys (CTRL, ALT, Shift, Windows) and launch commands like CTRL+ALT+Delete or the Restart of the computer. The parameter menu is useful for changing resolution resolution, hide the background, displaying the remote pointer.

Some complementary features of TeamViewer

By creating a TeamViewer account, you simplify access to the computer from the smartphone, which will no longer need to enter the ID or the password to control the machine. This feature, called “not monitored access”, is accessible in the main remote control page, if you have not configured it when initializing the software. Click on the “Grant easy access” link and follow the instructions for creating the TeamViewer account. By affecting the computer to this account, you will find shortcuts for connection from the application installed on your Android device.

TeamViewer is designed and presented as remote control software, but it incorporates other features to facilitate work in collaboration and online presentations. Thus, in the “Reunion” page of the computer software, we can start a presentation, a video call or a voice call. TeamViewer then creates a meeting ID which appears in a notification in the lower right corner of the screen, you can share this code to your correspondents so that they join you from their device.

TeamViewer was originally developed to help solve computer problems by providing remote access to the user machine. The TeamViewer Pilot application available on iOS and Android goes further, using the smartphone camera to manage remote assistance cases in all areas. The person who needs support can communicate their ID, film the scene and visually describe blocking, while their assistant connected to TeamViewer takes advantage of augmented reality augmented reality to place 3D markers on real world objects captured by the smartphone and guide your partner in solving the problem.

Another application for mobile devices has been developed by TeamViewer, it is called Quicksupport. It allows you to do exactly the opposite of what was described in this tutorial, that is to say give access to a computer to control a remote smartphone or tablet.
