In an extended trial period, all existing and new subscribers are invited to see the AR experience with their own eyes.

 TeamViewer 14 introduces substantial performance improvements compared to previous versions. Smart adaptive compression analyses connection quality and automatically adjusts compression making the new version work significantly faster, especially in low-bandwidth environments. The new release also leverages the newest technologies for hardware acceleration and processing of computational intense tasks.

Additionally, TeamViewer upgraded its server architecture resulting in faster routing connections and increased stability of TeamViewer’s signature high-performance remote connectivity. TeamViewer 14 focuses on improving productivity and usability as well as strengthening security.

IT administrators now benefit from one-click remote script execution within sessions, which allows for time-saving automation of repetitive maintenance tasks. Custom fields and flexible device grouping in the Computers & Contacts list facilitate advanced inventory handling. TeamViewer 14 Final will be released on November 13th.
