Same issue here, i sometimes help friends or family out, far away from commercial use. The first time i tried after months my connection was dropped and blocked and there was said i was using it commercially.
Well bye bye teamviewer, and hello google remote desktop.
This is interesting, I found myself blocked tonight. First time on a few weeks using TV. I only use it to get into a home media server which sits in a corner and has no monitor or peripherals attached. I’ve occasionally and very rarely used it in the past to access my Dad’s PC if he’s needed a hand or my work PC if I’ve needed to check on something. I’ve submitted a request to get free usage back again, but it sounds like I should take a look at AnyDesk.
I need a software that can connect to an Android tablet, and be able to unlock it (PIN) remotely.
Any recommendations?
Literally only use it to turn off my desktop from bed. Very ‘commercial’ 
. They aren’t going to have a customer base left to charge.
Free version is unusable at this point. I’m migrating back to chrome remote desktop.
Same, got to use for a minute and got kicked saying it’s used for commercial… where as I only use it to transfer things from one pc to another within the same home network
Yep and I was stupid enough to actually try the “pro” version several years ago which is severely limited compared to the free version. Plus it wasn’t cheap! I think it’s a subscription now too. Tried to cancel within the first week and couldn’t get a refund either.
I haven’t used TeamViewer since around 2014 and haven’t missed it one bit.
Some good alternatives would be AnyDesk or RustDesk. They’re both just as easy, and frankly perform significantly better imo.
If you’re looking for performance and don’t need the more “office” type features then Parsec is amazing, it’s geared toward gaming but you can do whatever you want with it.
Personally I have started using JumpDesktop it’s geared towards Apple users but will connect to any kind of system. Plus they have their own “fluid” protocol which will allow remote access without fussing with anything.
If you want to get fancy;
If you’re only connecting to your own machines and are ok with setting up a simple VPN like Tailscale then the last two are really nice.
NoMachine which is insanely powerful and can even connect USB devices to the remote system, which is really useful.
Sunshine and Moonlight would be the absolute fastest and highest quality remote connection you could get. But again it’s geared towards gaming so no file managers or anything like that.
Adding myself to the camp of dropping TeamViewer like a hot potato and joining AnyDesk. I used TeamViewer maybe for 30 min overall a week, if I even needed to tap into my remote computers at all, and that was enough to be restricted. What a joke of a company
Can’t you just make a new account?
Haha I got the same thing, I responded and said funny you guys have been able to confirm it all the other times and none of my ID’s have changed. I am dont with the crap company, uninstalled on all machines and now I use Anyviewer and Rustdesk. Teamviewer can kiss my ass, idiots!
Literally had this issue today … AnyDesk it is
Chrome Remote Desktop
They are clamping down on dishonest business users, which is understandable. But i’ve not done anything that would look like in a business user. I did once try to connect to my personal home nas (which i don’t think it’s allowed in the free version?). But that was a few years ago.
Also, they need to pay for their football team sponsorships now lol. I’ll try any desk cos i can’t be bothered to rectify tv
Uninstalled, bye u/teamviewer, it was a nice 10 years
I used to love TeamViewer—it was awesome, until I got tired of their ridiculous “commercial use” drama. I’m not running a Fortune 500 company here, just trying to connect to my wife’s computer down the hall, not some corporate skyscraper. And yeah, I also connect to my moms PERSONAL laptop in Arizona, which, shocker, is still not a commercial network. But the geniuses at TeamViewer hit me with the “commercial use” nonsense, and then I get the classic “Unable to confirm” message when I fill out their form. So let me get this straight—you can’t confirm I’m not using it for business, but you’re totally fine guessing that I am and then blocking me? Genius. Good thing these folks don’t run anything important in this world. Oh, and if they read this, they’ll probably get all triggered and run to their safe space.
They just blocked me from using TeamViewer and will not fix so I asked them for an address where they want the lawsuit papers delivered to. It 100% false advertisement. They have an address out of Florida Clear Water 5741 Rio Vista Dr… I be filling in Orange County Texas, make them fly to me to fight this lawsuit.
Drats just happended here too. Haven’t been using it for more than a year and needed to do some support for a familymember… 
Fucking greedy cunts.
Hallo, Ik weet niet of ik nu contact heb met REDDIT of TEAMVIEWER, maar ik heb reeds betaald voor het derde jaar MS OFFICE365 bij LICENTIE2GO, en ditmaal met de aanbieding van max. 5 extra installaties op eigen persoonlijke apparaten. Ik kreeg iemand aan de lijn (die mij opbelde/telefonisch niet bereikbaar. Aangezien ik reeds het programma had en direct betaalde, duurde de installatie van 5 minuten op mijn PC DESKTOP. Maar ondertussen probeer ik al maanden (van de beloofde 5 extra install.) er enkel EENTJE te installeren op mijn laptop, hier eveneens bij mij thuis, maar alle communicatie blijft al weken lang via mijn HD, omdat ik geen email ontvange op de LAPTOP. Ik verwacht nu wel dat iemand van LICENTIE2GO mijn contacteert op afspraak, maar vrees ervoor dat dti minder vlot zal gaan, zeker door het “proberen zelf op te lossen en de tientallen emails de voorbije maanden !).
Ik wil zoals bij het eerste contact TEAMVIEWER klaar zetten, maar kan dit NIET MEER Google aangeboden ! Als ik installeer van Google met Installe TV, dan krijg ik onmiddellij “wordt geinstalleerd en nog even geduld en bijna klaar”, maar de downloaw geeft enkel " 0% verwerkt - bijna klaar” terwijl er niks gebeurtt. Ik weet niet wat er verkeerd is mijn HD & Laptop staan naast elkaar en ik werk draadloos, wat geen problemen geeft op interenet. Omdat ik vrees voor moeilijkheden bij de nieuwe installatie (nog geen MS OFFICE) t.o.v. een update of verlenging die ik reeds installeerde en vroeg gisteren nog, moet ik niks vooraf doen (vb TV downloaden), maar dit lukt mij langs geen kanten, ik vrees voor mij en stel mij er veel vragen bij.
Groeten aan TEAMVIEWER LICENTIE2GO voor de afspraak, morgen om 9.30 ! IK MOEST NIKS VOORBEREIDEN. Ja, als dit zo eenvoudig gaat, waarom moet dit dan maanden duren ???
Tot morgen op hoop van succes,
JP DE PAEPE.
I needed Teamviewer today and darned if it was no longer free! However, I remembered that Quick Assist was on my PC as I had dismissed it in favour or TV and all I can say is that Quick Assist was 100% simpler to use in every way!
