TeamViewer enables web-based remote access. The new web client can be used by subscribers via all known web browsers.
TeamViewer, a leading global provider of secure remote connectivity solutions, today announced the launch of the TeamViewer web client for all subscribers to a Remote Access, Premium, Corporate or Tensor license. The HTML 5-based web client allows secure remote access to other devices via the Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge browsers. The connection can be started from the contact list of the TeamViewer Management Console, which can also be called online. The web client enables the control of Windows, MacOS and Linux devices that use a full version of TeamViewer, TeamViewer Host or TeamViewer QuickSupport.
Remote access from the Management Console
TeamViewer subscribers have long had access to the web version of the TeamViewer Management Console, in which they can monitor their devices and manage them remotely. What is new is that customers can quickly and easily establish a browser-based TeamViewer remote control connection from the Management Console without installing a TeamViewer client. Like all TeamViewer connections, this is end-to-end encrypted and includes proven functions such as controlling input devices, updating, locking or restarting the computer, as well as activating the security screen, which blackens the screen of the target device. Support via web client is particularly relevant if the familiar device with the existing TeamViewer installation is not available, but there is a need for action at short notice. This also enables support from devices on which no own software can be installed.
“With the web client, we are implementing another building block for limitless connectivity. It is important to us to enable maximum flexibility and independence from devices or operating systems - regardless of location and in any situation, ”explains Christoph Schneider, Director Product Management at TeamViewer.
