How to create a TeamViewer account

TeamViewer GmbH (or LLC in the US) is the German company that developed TeamViewer. It was founded in 2005. TeamViewer is available in many regions across the globe, and this makes it a great resource. Of the many features of TeamViewer, the most appreciated one is the remote control. Some of the other features you can enjoy with a TeamViewer account are:

• A quick connection that does not require you to enter your TeamViewer credentials (ID and password).
• File transfers, presentations, and chats
• Monitoring computers from a remote location using a feature called TeamViewer™ Monitoring
• Augmented reality
• Engaging on the TeamViewer community platform

Looking at the above, creating a TeamViewer account will give you the upper hand in controlling your computer. You can also execute other online engagements such as web and video conferencing. This article will guide you on how to create a TeamViewer account.
