It’s good that, sitting at one computer, you can control another from a distance: perform some actions, change the configuration, even just keep an eye on it. In our time, this has already become a reality. This article will discuss what TeamViewer is, why it is needed and what functions it has.
Definition
First, let's see what TeameViwer is. This is a convenient and simple program that is able to provide the user with the ability to control a computer from a distance via the Internet. Its functionality is diverse, it not only provides the ability to control another computer, but is also able to offer much more. This will be described in more detail below.
Remote administration
In general, what TeamViewer is, we have already figured it out, now we go directly to the capabilities of this program.
The first in line function is called “remote administration, which is also the main one. It provides the very ability to control a computer from a distance. Moreover, there are two modes:

The second function is the conference. She is rather unusual. With it, you can create your own conference or join an existing one. With its help it is convenient to communicate with other people (this can be done even at the same time), as well as hold demonstrations.
a list of users
Now let's talk about what a list of users is in TeamViewer. This is a very convenient thing, which allows you not to remember the ID and password of each computer, but to save it in some kind of contacts, from where you can quickly and without entering data connect to the desired desktop.
By its structure, the list of users is similar to well-known messengers, therefore, understanding it is not difficult. There you can both add new contacts and create a group of them to conveniently sort everything.
Communication
Incredibly convenient option that allows you to establish contact with the person to whose computer you are connected. With remote control, you can either open chat for correspondence with the user, or call him directly via the Internet. Among other things, it is possible to call the phone.

The option "View" is necessary to adjust the image scale of the remote PC. You can also change its resolution and quality, if necessary. With this feature, you can customize your look to make it easier to concentrate and work. This is especially convenient when simultaneously connecting to different PCs.
Additional features
