TeamViewer FAQ

Are there parameters to start TeamViewer?

TeamViewer can be run via command line using different parameters which have to be preceded with a "--" (e.g. --Password 123456). Alternatively you may also use the short form which is executed with a "-" in the beginning (e.g. -P 123456).

Below you can see an example of a command line in which TeamViewer is connecting to a specific ID, using a predefined password and a preset connection mode:

C:\Program Files\TeamViewer\Version8\teamviewer.exe -i 18876347 --Password test -m fileTransfer

C:\Program Files\TeamViewer\Version8\teamviewer.exe -i 18876347 --Password test -m fileTransfer

The available connection modes are:

• Remote-Control:
  teamviewer.exe -i <ID> --Password <Password>
• FileTransfer:
  teamviewer.exe -i <ID> --Password <Password> -m fileTransfer
• VPN:
  teamviewer.exe -i <ID> --Password <Password> -m vpn
