    Launch a Team Viewer session from an SR

    Once the integration is configured, you can launch a TeamViewer remote control session from any SR.

      If you have TeamViewer installed on your machine, it opens and launches the session.
    4. If you do not have TeamViewer installed on your machine, an .exe file automatically downloads on your machine. Run the file to launch the session.

    Once the session begins, you need to send the admin or end user you are connecting with the necessary information to join the session. To do this, you can either manually send your session partner the session code or you can generate a predefined email notification with a link to the session.

    To manually send the session code

    1. From the TeamViewer Integration window copy the session code in the top half of the window.
