TeamViewer is an application for remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer between computers, great for meetings, presentations, support and more. It runs on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux (
even though it comes in a .deb or .rpm, it uses Wine which comes bundled with it) as well as
Android or iPhone. The application is free for personal use only.
TeamViewer 7 for Windows was released about a month ago and the new version is now finally available for Linux too (TeamViewer was already available for Linux, but I'm talking about version 7). Here's what's new in TeamViewer 7:
- enhanced multi-monitor support
- an integrated screenshot tool
- record presentations
- save connection settings per Computer (store individual connection settings for each computer in your Computers & Contacts list) - see the first screenshot in the post
- instant meeting (you can start your meeting even before adding any participants - ideal for preparation and testing)
- scheduled meetings
- mobile participation via Android / iOS client
- File Box (make files available for download during meeting)
The new recording / take screenshot features are available under Extras:
New instant meeting in TeamViewer 7:
Unfortunately, some of the new TeamViewer 7
for Windows features are not yet working on Linux. For instance, you can record and play a presentation using TeamViewer under Linux, but the built-in AVI converter doesn't work, the TeamViewer panel can't be moved and so on, but this is a beta so hopefully all these bugs will be fixed in the final version.
Besides the new features, it's also important that TeamViewer 7 is finally available for Linux because you can connect to any TeamViewer version using TeamViewer 7, however, you can't connect to TeamViewer 7 using an older version.
(also available as a stable version for Windows, etc.).
Update: TeamViewer 7 for Linux is out of the beta and is now considered stable.
