Installing the application on your computer:

  • Next, under the How do you want to use the TeamViewer section in the installation window you are able to choose whichever option you want to choose: If you want to use TeamViewer individually, for personal reasons, select the Personal use. And, if you are a part of some company, you must click on the Company use. Have in mind that TeamViewer is free if you are using it for non-commercial purposes.
