TeamViewer (TeamViewer 9) is a popular piece of software used for Internet-based remote access and support. TeamViewer software can connect to any PC or server, so you can remote control your partner's PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. For the remote session to work the partner has to start a small application, which does not require installation or administrative rights. TeamViewer 9 is the latest version of the software and works with Windows, Mac, Linux operating systems and Mobile (Android, Apple iPad, Apple iPhone) devices. TeamViewer 6 is free for all non-commercial users.

The following examples are features that you can use for your home office:

Screen Sharing: work on your work computer as if you were sitting right in front of it. TeamViewer shares the computer's screen on your home computer, allowing you to work from home easily and intuitively.
Remote Printing: print documents from your office computer directly at home.
File Sharing: copy documents from your office computer to your home computer or vice versa.
Remote Access: access database software on your office computer or content on your company network from home, allowing you to continue to work on projects and meet your deadlines.
Deactivate display: deactivate the display on your office computer to protect sensitive content from your colleagues' inquisitive eyes.
Multi-Monitor: use all the active monitors on your office computer. If you work with two or more monitors in your office, you can do the same at home. Select the desired monitor or display all monitors in either separate windows or together. You will always have everything at your fingertips.
