TeamViewer is a teleconferencing software, geared towards setting up "meetings" between remote users (up to 25 participants), with an emphasis on presentation and screen sharing. The software's most significant features relate to the interactivity between a displayed screen and users, with several levels of participation (audio only, video only, etc.) selectable for different members of a meeting. It also supports large numbers of present users, and generates unique meetings with invitations and private ids. | TeamViewer is a teleconferencing software, geared towards setting up "meetings" between remote users (up to 25 participants), with an emphasis on presentation and screen sharing.

===Setup, configuration and usability=== | |||
Easy to install, but not intuitive to use: | |||
- One can't easily find people without their exact Alias | |||
- To start a meeting you have to create an ID and mail this number | |||
- The start preferences are questionable (i.e. in the meeting the screensharing turns on automatically) | |||
- iOS doesn't support video | |||

Sound trip latency varied, but the clearest measured data (as our audio was generally quite poor) resulted in 590 ms roundtrip latency. This software is therefore incapable of supporting any interactive performance beyond cue-less improvisation. | Sound trip latency varied, but the clearest measured data (as our audio was generally quite poor) resulted in 590 ms roundtrip latency.

===Subjective experience=== | |||
It was very difficult to start a meeting and communicate. It was a relief to switch to skype at the end. | |||
