Remote support with TeamViewer

Usage

The TeamViewer software can help in the following situations:

Remote support

You want to have an engineer from Schmid Enginnering sitting next to you to discuss your code or get help on handling the toolchain.
With the team viewer quick support you can give access to your screen in just a few clicks. The support engineer will see your screen and can remotely control your PC while you talk together on the phone. Follow these steps to get support:

  1. contact Schmid Engineering to schedule a remote support session
  2. download the Team Viewer Quick Support software.
  3. double click and run the downloaded software. Answer to the warning with 'Run'. (nothing will be installed - no administrator privileges required. See also the security statements below)
  4. tell the support engineer your ID and Password at the phone.

Online Presentation

You want to follow an on line presentation of Schmid Engineering.
Follow these steps to participate an online presentation:

  1. get invited from Schmid Engineering or contact Schmid Engineering to schedule an online presentation. You will get an ID and a Password by e-mail or phone.
  2. download the Team Viewer Quick Join software.
