Setup TeamViewer Mac Screensharing

TeamViewer is a screen-sharing application that allows our technical support staff to see your computer screen and use your mouse and keyboard. We take your computer security very seriously. No one can access your computer unless TeamViewer is running, configured correctly, and you give them the ID and password that changes each time you launch TeamViewer.

The following walkthrough will show you the steps to configure TeamViewer so that CodeWeavers can help you.
