Teamviewer Not Showing Id Or Password

The goal is to change the teamviewer ID, and in order to do you have to remove all the above mentioned files (see above or even use a teamviewer portable version that doesn’t saves anything on the disk) and then change the MAC address of your NIC. This happens when TeamViewer configured for LAN connections. (Why TeamViewer settings were lost is still question for me:) ) To fix the issue, it is necessary to change network settings: In TeamViewer open Extras - Options, and in General category find Network settings and under Incoming LAN connections, select the accept option. “ netsh Winsock reset ” is a helpful command that you can use in Command Prompt to reset Winsock Catalog back to default setting or its clean state. You can try this method if you are experiencing the inability to connect in TeamViewer. Hiding the ID: I don't know a way to make the ID show up as a dash (-), but there are some alternatives. If there is no Internet connection, the ID will change to your IP address. But you won't be able to connect to any computer outside your LAN. If you enable the new user interface preview, you have 4 different tabs that can be displayed.

Every time that you call support, call a friend to help, or you are trying to remotely login to a computer, you will need to know the Teamviewer ID of that machine. This is extremely simple, whether or not you have TeamViewer installed or not.

7 Steps total

Step 1: Look at the Desktop

To move everything out of the way, simply hold the windows key and press D. The windows key is the 'flag' looking key on the bottom left side of the keyboard between Ctrl and Alt. (Look at the space bar.. now go 2 keys left.. Game ultraman fighting evolution rebirth ps2 iso rom. that is the 'windows flag key').

While pressing the Windows Key, press D. It will minimize all windows it can to show you the desktop.

Step 2: Find the Teamviewer Icon on the Desktop

Locate the Teamviewer 8 Host icon on the desktop. If you do not find it there, then click the Start Menu and look for it there. If you do not find it in the Start Menu, then go to where the clock is. Look for the little up-arrow that hides notification icons. Click that up arrow and look for a miniature version of the Teamviewer icon to be there. Double-Click the icon in the notification area.

Step 3: Double-Click Teamviewer to open

Double-click the icon you found in step 2 to open Teamviewer. It will popup a window to show you the 9-Digit ID.

Step 4: What does it look like in the notification area?

If you are looking for the teamviewer in the notification area, this is basically what it will look like. In the image, the teamviewer icon is the icon to the far left in the notification popup.

Step 5: What about under the start menu? What will it look like?

When you pop open the start menu, simply start typing in the box found right-above the start menu button. This box will search for the program automatically. This is an example of a simple start menu search.

Step 6: I got an error that said 'Teamviewer is already running', what do I do?

If you get this popup message, then you simply need to click the 'Show running TeamViewer' button.

Step 7: I'm still having trouble, what do I do?

Well obviously you go home and cry yourself to sleep. Noob.

NO I'm kidding! If you can't find it at all then it is time to download it, because it obviously isn't there! This KB is about Teamviewer 8, so here is the download link to download TeamViewer 8. DO NOT download a different version because Corporate licenses for Teamviewer 8 will have issues connecting to a non-version 8 Teamviewer Install!

Download this file, tell it to RUN, then it will popup the same window without having to install TeamViewer. Your support tech will be able to take it from there.

TeamViewer has simplified many aspects of remotely supporting users, but many users still have trouble providing the TeamViewer ID so that support can begin! Luckily, this KB Article (as simple as it sounds) goes through all the steps anyone should ever have to follow in order to find the correct Teamviewer ID to provide to support technicians.

    Thanks for the picture in #6. I was working with an office that was stuck at this point and was never able to proceed after some trouble shooting. I personally never got this error and user did not inform me of the obvious selection.

    A proper explanation how to start Teamviewer. Though, if it's allready running (which one should checkout first), the icon would be found as explained above. By pointing at the icon, without clicking it, - there will show a popup box with the 9-Digit ID and TeamViewer name.
