I received the following email on Friday 31st. I still love LogMeIn Ignition for all the reasons you mention. I’ve already wrote them about it, maybe, with all the new LogMeIn customers, they’ll consider putting in this alternative method of a touch interface.įebruat 5:36 I have downloaded and installed TeamViewer but am turned off by the resolution change you mention and the dialog box it leaves open when disconnecting. Like the desktop on a Surface! □Īnyway, sadly, this way the TeamViewer app is pretty much useless to me. □ One can tell the app to leave the resolution untouched, but not only does 1920×1080 seem to be the maximum it can accommodate, as there is no way to zoom in (pinch gestures are interpreted as standard Windows zoom commands, resizing icons on the desktop or text in browsers), everything is way too small to be usable. By default it shrinks the host’s resolution to 1024×768 – yikes! As my DELL XPS 27 runs at 2560×1440, that’s quite some shrinkage. I love that, as it keeps the window sizes untouched, I’m very picky that way, every window is positioned just right, and I don’t want another program to mess with that.īut that’s exactly what the TeamViewer app does. In LogMeIn Ignition on the iPad You can preserve the host’s native resolution and zoom in and out with the typical iOS pinch gesture. I switched to TeamViewer as well, but the iPad app lacks one important feature unfortunately, or rather its approach to touch control is different. You also won’t hear sounds being made on the remote machine through the local machine. ![]() It doesn’t lock out the person on the remote end from being able to use the computer, but it you won’t be able to see the remote person moving the mouse on the local machine. When a local machine is controlling another machine, both sides can control the mouse and keyboard. On the Macbook Pro side of the connection, there will be a popup window letting you know someone is connected. ![]() In the image above, I’m remoted into my Macbook Pro from a Windows PC laptop. Of course, the Macbook Pro needs to be turned on, connected to the internet and have the TeamViewer application running, in order to be able to remote into it. I’m able to use the mouse and keyboard just like I was sitting in front of it. If I’m at work and need to remote into my Macbook Pro, I’ll launch TeamViewer and double click my Macbook in the address book and it will connect and allow me to control it. ![]() My Macbook Pro and my work laptop which remains on my desk at my day job. Or you can create an “address book” like you see on the right side. This is the info you would give to someone you want to allow to remote into your machine. I’ve covered up the machine IDs which are used to identify a machine so you can control it. The TeamViewer user interface on a Mac or PC looks like the window you see above.
