How to activate the new browser engine

Before you switch to the new browser engine please make sure that you have the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime installed on your machine. If it is already installed you can skip this step.

There is a chance that your machine already has this component as it could come with other applications using WebView2 technology.

Open TeamViewer Client and click the gear icon (⚙) to open the Options Advanced Show advanced options Embedded options. Enable the checkbox for the Use Microsoft Edge WebView2 for Remote AppControl.

On your next connection to the IoT device, Microsoft Edge WebView2 will be used to display the web content.
