Installing TeamViewer Client: A Step-by-Step Guide

In this article, we will explore the process of installing TeamViewer client and setting it up for remote access to your parents' computers. As someone who helps their parents with IT-related issues, you may have encountered difficulties in accessing multiple devices at once.

To begin with, I recommend setting up a strong password for each TeamViewer Host app's settings. You can also add other devices beyond the three-device limit by designating them as 'Bookmarked devices.' To do this, download an .exe file and find it on your computer before double-clicking it to initiate the installation process.

However, you may still encounter issues with accessing multiple devices at once. In my personal experience, I had trouble removing unattended access from a parent's computer after reaching the three-device limit. This required me to use the web app to remove the device, which was not possible through the full client on my MacBook.

To avoid this hassle in the future, I suggest using the TeamViewer Host application instead of the full client. By doing so, you can easily add more devices and avoid the limitations associated with the full client.

Another challenge I faced was finding a workaround to remove unattended access from a parent's computer. After some trial and error, I discovered that this could be done through the web app, but only if the device still showed up in the list of available computers. Unfortunately, this method did not work for me on my MacBook.

To make things easier, it would be beneficial to have a more straightforward way to remove unattended access from multiple devices at once. In my case, I had to go through the process of removing access one by one, which was time-consuming and frustrating.

If you are also experiencing difficulties with TeamViewer, such as struggling to find the downloaded .exe file or dealing with finicky setup processes, know that you are not alone. I have encountered similar issues while helping my parents with their IT needs.

In conclusion, installing TeamViewer client can be a bit tricky, especially when trying to access multiple devices at once. However, by following these steps and using the right tools, such as the TeamViewer Host application, you can streamline the process and make remote support easier for both yourself and your parents.
