How the program works
To set up remote computer control, you only need to fulfill two conditions:
- TeamViewer is installed on both devices.
- Both devices have Internet access.
Typically, you connect to another computer within 3-10 seconds. If the Internet connection on one of the devices leaves much to be desired, the waiting time may increase to 15-20 seconds. In this case, it is recommended not to connect: when controlling another PC, there will be strong delays that will lead to erroneous actions.
