1. Teamviewer Quicksupport Activating Teamviewer Android

TeamViewer is the only remote support technology in the world to allow LIVE iOS device screen access and control from any desktop or mobile device. All Android devices can also be similarly accessed making us the ideal platform for supporting employees in a BYOD or a large organization with all kinds of employee devices. The TeamViewer application for Android is just an Interface to connect to a PC and operate it remotely. If you observe the Android application screen (TeamViewer), there is only input field where you need enter the remote PC TeamViewerID. But, it will not give you any TeamViewID for your android device.

I'm wondering if it's possible to connect to a computer through TeamViewer without having the screen show what you're doing.

For example if it's a computer at home or at work which is standing where other people might be, I'd prefer to be able to use it without them seeing what I'm doing :)

Look at the 'Actions' menu. You need to 'Disable Remote Input' first, then 'Show black screen' will be enabled and you can select it.

The first time you use this feature, TeamViewer will want to install a display driver.

In the Windows App:

If you're using Web Access (not the app):

1. Right Click the computer you want to edit

2. Click Properties

3. Click Advanced (lower left)

4. Click Drop Down under Remote Input (bottom right)

5. Select 'Disable Remote Input and Show Black Screen'

6. Log into remote computer from another Desktop edition of TeamViewer and accept the video driver TeamViewer offers

Note that you will need to do this for each device you have TeamViewer installed on.

Using RDP (remote desktop protocol) the built in remote access software in all versions of windows since XP will accomplish this to some extent- as soon as you start your remote session the remote PC will show the windows LOCK screen, requiring a person physically at the PC to enter their password to regain control (at which point you will be knocked off your remote control session).

To enable on the remote pc:

OR

On your local pc to connect to remote PC: run the built in (to windows) client app: 'remote Desktop Connection'

1. Prior to connecting, in the Computer and Contacts window, right-click the remote computer you wish to connect to and select Properties.
2. Under Action Settings, select Disable remote input and show black screen in the Remote input dropdown.

Alternatively, if you wish to manually blank the screen after connecting to the remote machine, in the Actions menu you can select Show black screen to force a blank, black screen to be shown on the remote monitor.

No, but you can try looking for other remote administration software. those which allow you to access the remote system in 'stealth' are usually trojans or backdoors which are not appropriate to discuss here.
