So the other day, I was troubleshooting an issue on my friend's PC using TeamViewer. And much to my annoyance, I realized that there was no sound coming from the other side. If it was an issue that didn't require audio, I would have gladly let it go. But as luck would have it, it was a VLC-related issue for which explicitly needed audio.
In situations such as these, the sound settings are the usual culprits. It can be either related to the individual module (Remote Control or Meeting), or to the program which you are running on the other person's machine.
So, in this post today, we cover both the aspects and show you how to enable audio in TeamViewer on Windows 10 computers.

Step 1: Killing floor 2 medic weapons. Once you have opened Team Viewer, go to the main window and click on Extras > Options.
Step 2: Click on Remote control (third option from the top) and check the 'Play computer sounds and music' option under the Remote control defaults section.
For audio to function normally remote control sessions, the above option needs to stay enabled on both the computers.
However, if you are still facing issues in playing sound from other applications like VLC, a peek into the audio settings of VLC should get it working.
In the VLC, Click on Tools > Preferences and select the Audio tab. Once in, go to the Output section and click on the drop down option menu to set the output module as WaveOut audio output. Select speakers and hit OK.
Audio in Meetings
Thankfully, in TeamViewer Meetings, the audio settings are located right on the meeting interface. Meaning that you don't have to leave the screen to rummage through the settings.
Once you've started a meeting, tap on the Cog icon in the Screen Sharing card. Select Share computer sounds and music. That's it. The participants on the other side will be able to hear the audio almost immediately.
Just be sure to keep the microphone turned off when you are not speaking. Wait, that's not all.

1. Record Sessions Automatically
Did you know that you can record Remote Control sessions automatically? Yep, you read that right. This trick is useful if you often forget to tap on the Record button.
All you have to do is go to Extras > Options > Remote control and check the option for automatic screen recording. This way, you won't have to bother about tapping on the record button every time you start a session.
2. Optimize Speed
If only remote sessions (and video calls) could be as seamless and crystal clear as they show in the movies. Unfortunately, reality and expectations are very much different. A little lag is somewhat acceptable, but it can get quite annoying at times when the cursor seems to move in fits and bursts.
Thankfully, this can be fixed to an extent by optimizing the speed. Click on View and select Optimize speed. Also, if you have a bad or slow connection, a click on Optimize Quality will also help.
3. Set up a Confirmation Box
The default settings of TeamViewer allows full access to your computer when you join a Remote Control session. But if you'd want the tool to ask for your permission (before you give the control), it can also be done.
To do so, you'd need to head over to the Advanced options (Extras > Options) and search for the 'Advanced settings for connection to this computer' card. Under Access control, select Custom settings and click on Configure.
Click on the drop down menu for Control this computer option and select After confirmation. That's it!
4. Reboot like a Pro
If you have to reboot the client machine, we all know that the standard action of tapping on the Restart button will close TeamViewer. And you'd have to reopen the connection to see whether the changes have taken effect. Well, we have a shorter way for you.
Click on Action on the Toolbar and select Reboot.
Note: This process will work seamlessly only if the machine on the other side doesn't have the Windows Log on with password enabled.Also on Guiding Tech
How to Protect Your PC From Remote Attacks
Read MoreTake Remote Sessions like a Pro
Undoubtedly TeamViewer has simplified remote access and is compatible across multiple platforms. And is available for free. Plus, it allows for multiple remote sessions. Unless you're using it as part of a support program, remote assistance is not something that one needs on a daily basis. For me, it's usually reserved for helping my father with his somewhat ancient system.
What about you? How often do you have to use TeamViewer and which features do you tend to use often?

Review title of AlexanderDO NOT DOWNLOAD
This software/site was hacked recently and a lot of data was leaked/released within several hacking sites. I urge anyone who uses this to uninstall it right away. They also blamed the customers and blatantly lied to them in order to save themselves. This software is not recommended as their security standards are very low and they maintain a low ratio of 'customer care'. I am leaving this here for anyone who has either downloaded or may choose to download it. If you do not believe me there are several and I mean several articles on the recent hack (some which have not been changed). The company itself has forced many news providers to change their articles and incite different views or they may of been sued. This company uses lies upon lies to defend itself and is built on corruption. I would urge you to use a different software that isn't teamviewer and is more secure. There other software that hasn't been hacked. Download this and lose personal/financial data just so you know guys!
Problem
The Shut down and Restart options are removed from the Start Menu when you’re connected using Remote Desktop (aka Terminal Services), as pictured above. These intentional omissions protect you from yourself, since there's a risk when doing such power operations remotely. If something goes wrong, you're presumably not there to fix it. That assumption isn't always true for home labs or VMs.
This article is for sysadmins who know better, wanting to Shut down or Restart (or even enter Sleep) over RDP anyway! ;-)
These two simple workarounds below are applicable to the following versions of Microsoft:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8/8.1
- Windows 10
whether it's installed on a PC, a server, or even in a VM (Virtual Machine)!
Solution A - GUI + keyboard
If your a keyboard shortcut fan, you may have already known that Alt+F4 closes the currently selected Windows application. When your desktop is selected, it stands to reason that typing Alt+F4 has the effect of telling Windows that you'd like to close Windows itself. Simple, elegant, and easy to remember!
- Press Win+D to minimized all open Windows to show your desktop
(alternatively, you can left-click the lower-right corner) - Press Alt+F4 to bring up the Shut Down Windows - What do you want the computer to do? dialog, where you can now choose any of the following list of actions:
Disconnect
Sign out
Shut down
Restart - Select which option you want, then press Enter (or click OK), as pictured below.
Alternatively, here's the same video on YouTube for you to share.
Solution B - Command Prompt
- Open a Command Prompt
a. To initiate a Shut down, type:shutdown /s /t 0
then press Enter
ORb. To initiate a Restart, type:shutdown /r /t 0
then press Enter
Because of the 0 second delay you specified, you'll want to be very sure you really intend to do this immediately, before you press that Enter key!
Note: these techniques also work with Microsoft
- Windows Server 2008/2008 R2
- Windows Server 2012/2012 R2
- Windows Server 2016
but the start menu of those server OSs don't block access to the Shut down and Restart/Reboot options. This seems to indicate that Microsoft assumes only knowledgeable sysadmins would be using those OSs anyway.
RDP Tips
Courtesy of makeuseof's 5 Tips for Fixing Remote Desktop Screen Settings:
CTRL+ALT+PAUSE: Switches your Remote Desktop client between full-screen and windowed mode.
CTRL+ALT+BREAK: Force the Remote Desktop into full-screen mode.
CTRL+ALT+MINUS: Takes a screenshot of the active Remote Desktop window.
CTRL+ALT+PLUS: Takes a screenshot of the entire Remote Desktop.
CTRL+ALT+END: Reboots the remote computer.
CTRL+ALT+BREAK: Force the Remote Desktop into full-screen mode.
CTRL+ALT+MINUS: Takes a screenshot of the active Remote Desktop window.
CTRL+ALT+PLUS: Takes a screenshot of the entire Remote Desktop.
CTRL+ALT+END: Reboots the remote computer.
I have noticed that with Windows 10 over RDP, typing CTRL+ALT+END will bring up the usual choice of options you get when typing CTRL+ALT+DEL, but the power options at bottom-right don't always show Shut down and Restart, as discussed below. Not sure why just yet. Whatever the reason, it would seem this handy single keystroke would be great to recommend, if only it was just as universal as the two techniques I detailed above.

Have you ever been somewhere and wanted to show a family photo or retrieve a document, only to realize that the file is on a home computer? The more connected our devices become, the more they increase our desire to access our information anywhere.
But while mobile devices increasingly outsell traditional computers, a lot of our most important information continues to be stored on stationary home desktops or laptops, which don't offer convenient access from just anywhere because of home firewalls. Even when you're on a home network, having to move to a particular device on the other side of the house can be annoying.
Software engineers have come up with an easier way to gain access from afar. Using simple software, you can see and control a remote computer on another device that you're currently using--even from a different computer network. All you typically need is a working Internet connection for both devices.
Various methods and applications can enable this functionality for your devices. In this guide, we'll focus on TeamViewer, a popular program that offers compatibility with Windows, Mac, and even some smartphone operating systems. Here's how to use it.
Install the Software on the First Computer
- Download the TeamViewer app from the company's website or from PCWorld's Downloads to the computer that you want to control remotely. In most cases, the full version will suffice; it's free for noncommercial users.
- After completing the download, launch the installer.
- Select Install and then Next.
- For personal use, select personal/noncommercial and then click Next.
- Accept the license and usage agreement by selecting both checkboxes and clicking Next.
- For installation type, select Yes to install the host listening software on the current computer; then click Next. The software will now be installed.
- The app will prompt you to set up unattended access. Click Next, set a descriptive name and password for the computer, and click Next again.
- Now you need to create a Teamviewer account, to permit easy, secure access to any of your devices that you want to reach. Fill in a username, email address, and password to create the account, and then click Next.
- Click Finish to complete the setup.

The computer will now be running listening software that waits for approved devices to connect to it, and that can also connect to other computers you configure.
Install the Software on the Second Computer
- Download TeamViewer from the company's website or from PCWorld's Downloads to another computer that you want to connect to or from. Once the download is complete, launch the app's installer.
- Select Install and then Next.
- For personal use, select personal/noncommercial and then click Next.
- Accept the license and usage agreement by selecting both checkboxes and clicking Next.
- For installation type, select Yes to install the host listening software on the current computer; then click Next. The software will now be installed.
- The app will prompt you to set up unattended access. Click Next, set a descriptive name and password for the computer, and click Next again.
- Select I already have a TeamViewer account. Fill in the username and password that you created previously, and then click Next. Click Finish to complete the setup.

Remotely Connect to One Computer From the Other
With the software is installed at both ends, connecting to the remote computer (typically called the host) from the computer/device where you are currently located (typically called the guest) should be easy.
- Launch the software on the guest.
- Enter your TeamViewer account login credentials, and log in.
- A list of computers associated with your account will be appear in the My Partners list; one of them will be the host computer that you configured earlier. Double-click the name of the remote computer that you want to connect to.
- Your remote computer's display will appear in a window, just as if you were sitting directly in front of it. Use the keyboard/mouse/touchpad/touchscreen of your current device to interact with it as you normally would. The software will take your local input and send it to your remote computer, which will then send its display back to your current device in real-time. (Note: For security reasons, some keys and key combinations won't go directly to your remote host, like Ctrl-Alt-Del for Windows. TeamViewer enables you to send these special keys and combinations through its software Actions menu.)
- When you're done accessing your remote computer, close the window to end the session.
TeamViewer will typically work without any additional firewall configuration between devices on any computer network (and even between different ones), as long as both are connected to the Internet. And because it's compatible with many different devices, you can do neat things like control your Mac from Windows, your Windows PC from a Mac, or even your computer from your iOS/Android phone!
