Start a screen sharing session

Last Modified 28 июн. 2026 г.

TeamViewer's browser-based screen sharing lets you start a support session instantly, no installation required. Send a link, connect in seconds, and see exactly what's happening on their screen. If you need more control later, you can guide them to download TeamViewer QuickSupport directly from the session.

Note: This feature is available in both the desktop and the web client.

This article applies to all TeamViewer Business, Premium, and Corporate license holders.

As a TeamViewer Tensor admin, we want you to be aware that our new browser‑based screen sharing feature uses a dedicated TeamViewer subdomain: http://screensharing.teamviewer.com

Even though this feature is not yet available for TeamViewer Tensor, this subdomain is already active for other license types.

If your organization needs tight control over incoming connection methods, you can block http://screensharing.teamviewer.com at the firewall level to prevent any browser‑based screen-sharing requests from reaching your network.

We recommend reviewing your security policies now so you can decide whether to allow or block this connection type before it becomes available to your users.
