How to Install TeamViewer in Windows 11

This post shows students and new users steps to install and use the TeamViewer remote desktop tool when using Windows 11 to provide or allow remote support and desktop sharing.

TeamViewer is a cross-platform remote support software that’s free for personal use. If you want to use it to provide remote support services for your business or non-personal use, you must purchase a license to abide by its licensing terms.

There are multiple remote support tools available for Windows users. Many of these tools are cross-platform – meaning they work on other operating systems, like macOS, Linux, and others. However, TeamViewer is probably the most popular among them all.

You can provide remote support services and use TeamViewer to connect with contacts and teams through secure videoconferencing, VoIP calls, instant chat, screen sharing, and more across devices and platforms worldwide.

To start installing TeamViewer in Windows 11, follow the steps below.

Installing TeamViewer in Windows is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is download the installer package, run it, and you’re done.

Click the link below to go to TeamViewer’s download web page.

TeamViewer Windows Download

Click on the Download button – 64-bit only for Windows 11 systems.

Once downloaded, the TeamViewer_Setup_x64 file should be saved in your Downloads folder. Go to the Downloads folder and double-click the file to begin installing.

During the installation, you’ll be prompted to choose the installation types. Depending on your situation, you should choose one. In most cases, the Default installation will be fine.

However, suppose you need to access the computer remotely without confirming a connection every time. In that case, you will want to choose the Unattended Access option.

On the other hand, if you simply want to run TeamViewer without installing it, then use the option Run only (the one they use).

For this tutorial, we’re choosing the default installation.

Select how you’d want to use TeamViewer at the end of the installation. As mentioned above, you must purchase a license if you use it for commercial purposes.

For this tutorial, we’re going to use TeamViewer for personal use. Once selected, click Finish to complete the installation.
