As an IT administrator, you may be looking for ways to keep your team’s online activity discreet and secure. In this article, we’ll look at how to stop your contacts from being notified when using TeamViewer, the popular remote access and file-sharing tool.
TeamViewer is a popular remote access, file-sharing, and collaboration tool used by many companies and individuals for remote support, remote access, and file-sharing. It’s also a great way to collaborate with colleagues and friends, allowing them to quickly and easily access your computer from anywhere.
Unfortunately, TeamViewer’s default setting is to notify contacts whenever you start a remote session. This can be a privacy concern, as it’s possible for someone to start a remote session without the knowledge of the user. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent TeamViewer from notifying contacts when you start a session.
The first step is to open the TeamViewer application on your computer. Once open, click on “Extras” and select “Options”. On the left side of the window, click on “Advanced” and then “Notifications”. Here, you can disable the “Notify contacts that I am using TeamViewer” option. This will prevent your contacts from being notified when you start a remote session.
You can also adjust the “Notify contacts that I am sharing files” setting. By default, this is enabled and will notify contacts when you share files. To disable this, uncheck the box next to the setting. Additionally, you can disable the “Notify contacts that I am working on a remote computer” setting to prevent contacts from being notified when you are working on a remote computer.
Finally, you can also adjust the “Notify contacts when I am inactive” setting. By default, this is enabled and will notify contacts when you are inactive for a certain amount of time. To disable this, uncheck the box next to the setting.
These steps should prevent TeamViewer from notifying contacts when you start a remote session. This will help to keep your online activity discreet and secure. It’s important to note, however, that these changes will only apply to the current user. If you have multiple users, you will need to repeat the steps for each user.
In conclusion, TeamViewer’s default setting is to notify contacts whenever you start a remote session. To prevent TeamViewer from notifying contacts when you start a session, you can adjust the “Notify contacts that I am using TeamViewer”, “Notify contacts that I am sharing files”, and “Notify contacts when I am inactive” settings. These changes will only apply to the current user, so you will need to repeat the steps for each user. By following these steps, you can ensure that your online activity remains discreet and secure.
