First, you'll get "Commercial use suspected" nag screens all the time, then it would outright stop working, timing out each of your sessions about a minute in and not letting you reconnect for 10 minutes.

I have it installed on just about every device that I can have it installed in. I would wish for this to have support for Xbox but I know that's a long shot. I use this even on my phone and it works great. When I am away but still need to do something in my home computer, I can use this to remote in and accomplish what I have to do. I have even done extensive video editing with Adobe Suite through my phone using this software. I can not recommend this enough.
Teamviewer has been my go tool for helping friends for many years. It is also great when I wanted to access my PC while I was out. Nowadays I moved to Anydesk when it comes to helping friends, as Teamviewer feels way slower and laggy that Anydesk. Also unlike Anydesk that you can just click and run, with Teamviewer you have to always keep going through the "install" and choose to just run it, if you do not want it installed.
Still though, when it comes to unattended access, Teamviewer seems better to me, maybe before I have not delved deeper in the options of Anydesk. With Teamviewer as long as I can connect on it with my created password, I have elevated priviledges, while with Anydesk it kept telling me I needed them, which means someone had to do it from my PC.

They made userbase. And once they've become monopolists they started heavily exploiting their position. and they users. But nothing is irreplaceable. And they quickly faced their reality.

Good app for less frequent usage. For daily usage it gets logged out every two or three days and you have to log in again on all machines you are using this app with.
These guys made a good software and love making it swell bigger and bigger with every new release. But instead of building a good reputation they just slam these commercial use detected bans in people's faces.
I wish they would just offered a free lightweight version for the small kind. That's where UltraViewer is now picking up users that just had it with TeamViewer. :)
They make it very hard to manage plan and payment options for corporate accounts.
I didn't receive an invoice in advance of the yearly renewal, so I missed that it was approaching.
Of course the contract binds you so that you can't cancel without 28 days notice prior to renewal date, which is excessive for what is essentially just software.
So they don't tell the customer renewal is approaching, then surprise them with it after it's too late to change, ignoring their requests for information to that effect.
Look at other options. You'll find a better product and deal with some innovative competition.
I stopped using TeamViewer years ago when I saw first-hand others remotely controlling my computer, even though I had 2FA enabled. TeamViewer blamed it on users after months of not even acknowledging this was happening.
I removed it from every machine, and have warned against others using it since. There are far better alternatives (I mostly use NoMachine as I've had issues with Anydesk), and would avoid this software at all costs.
