Set up TeamViewer
Setting up your TeamViewer account on Atera is easy, and only entails entering your TeamViewer credentials.
Note: You'll need to have a valid TeamViewer license. If you don't have one, you can purchase it at TeamViewer
Once you have a TeamViewer license, you can add visual customizations and customize a myriad of additional settings on the Management console that TeamViewer provides you.
The customer/host listings, groupings, or hierarchies on your TeamViewer Management Console will remain untouched. We won’t overrun any of the existing organizational structure. However, if there are no hosts listed on the console, then the hosts you add on Atera will be copied to the TeamViewer management console.
