There you’ll see your three options: Start, Pause and Stop. While you’re connected, go to the TeamViewer toolbar and select “Extras” and then mouse over “Record”. If you’re doing something you need to make sure you remember - or if you’re using TeamViewer to give tech support - you can set up your remote session to record as you work. Even if you’re not interested in remote controlling your desktop, the file transfer function can really come in handy. You can move files by simply dragging and dropping. When you connect, you’ll be able to see all the files and folders on your desktop machine. Before you click “Connect to partner”, instead select the “File transfer” button. Follow the same steps as if you were going to remotely connect to your desktop. You can also transfer files without remote controlling your machine.

From there you can select “File transfer” to access your desktop’s files, or you can select “File box”, which allows you to drag and drop files for sharing.

Go to your TeamViewer toolbar and select the “File transfer” dropdown menu. You can transfer files from one machine to the other with TeamViewer as well, and it can be done while you’re connected to your desktop. To see if your system meets the requirements and to follow the steps to set up Wake-On-LAN, check out the Wake-On-LAN Manual from the TeamViewer web site. There are a number of qualifications your system has to meet and several steps to complete in order for Wake-On-LAN to work. This allows you to remote into your machine without it having to be powered on until you need it. You can also use TeamViewer to wake your computer from sleep or hibernation mode with the Wake-On-LAN function. Now you have the option to make a free TeamViewer account, which you can use to save the name and password for quick and easy access in the future. Disconnect from the desktop and then click on the star in the same field that you just put the ID number. To connect to your machine that is now set up for easy access, input the Partner ID and then click “Connect to partner”. Click on it, and then click “Setup unattended access…” Then follow the steps to setup a name and password.

On your desktop, open TeamViewer and look for “Connection” in the upper-left area of the window.
