TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TeamViewer®, one of the world’s most popular providers of remote control and online meetings software, today announced the 10th version of its software with the launch of TeamViewer 10 beta for Windows, Mac and Linux computers. TeamViewer 10 boasts new features and improvements that make it easier for businesses of all sizes to provide a secure, customized and integrated user experience across devices, with new collaboration tools to facilitate information sharing. TeamViewer 10 provides enhanced control features, enabling IT Administrators to apply, distribute and enforce setting policies, all via the TeamViewer Management Console. Users can integrate their computers and contacts into other applications with a new Computers & Contacts API. This allows them to synchronize information, see when customers are online and access and manage contacts and assets within any software.
Additional new TeamViewer 10 features include:
- One-Click Video Calls – Business partners and customers can now connect using video and VoIP in exceptional quality for both image and audio without having to first start a screen sharing session. It is possible to see and talk to multiple participants simultaneously in a single call and share the screen at any time. Just like regular screen sharing meetings, TeamViewer video calls are end-to-end encrypted.
- Improved Messenger – Enhanced communication features include a complete chat history for all conversations, making it easy to locate a previous message across devices. Users can send offline messages or create persistent group chats. All chat conversations are entirely end-to-end encrypted, so discussions are always secure.
- Master Whitelist – New whitelisting capabilities allow users to manage access to devices using just one whitelist via the Management Console without requiring granting users access on each specific device. It is also now possible to add entire companies to the whitelist at once instead of having to add each separate user.
- Enhanced Control during Meetings – Meeting presenters can lock the door on online meetings to do last minute prep work or encourage participants to be on time. Participants can be let in or removed from a meeting.
- Deeper Customization – Businesses can now customize their waiting rooms for online meetings and service cases to promote a constant corporate design. Additionally, users can personalize their online presence with their pictures for the first time. The profile pictures are displayed in the Computers & Contacts list, chat windows, request dialogues and similar locations where it helps to identify a user and add to a professional image.
- Integration with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box – Users can share files during meetings or remote control sessions by using Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or Box. With data already in the cloud, they save time and bandwidth and can easily share files from wherever they are.
- Expanded Support for Mobile Platforms – With TeamViewer 10, supporters now can use also Linux computers to provide support for the ever increasing number of mobile devices. Additionally, a new app allows users to remote control other devices from their Blackberry.
