How to know we are connected

We always ask if you are ok with us taking control over your PC. As soon as you confirm this, please do not move your mouse. You will see everything we do on the screen. You can take control back any time by simply moving your mouse.
How to make sure the session is over
When the session is over and we no longer have access to your PC, the chat window will disappear and you will see the confirmation at the bottom of the TeamViewer window:
TeamViewer and your safety
We can connect to your machine only if TeamViewer is open on your PC. You can take control over your computer and stop us from doing anything by simply starting to move your mouse. All TeamViewer versions use full encryption.
How to create a new password
We can establish a connection only if we know the session password. As soon as it changes, we won't be able to access your machine until you give us the newly generated password.
To change the password, hover with the mouse over the Password field. You will see a circle-arrow. Click the arrow and pick to Create new random password in the drop-down list:
