What is a meeting in TeamViewer
TeamViewer gives us the possibility to start meetings or join one by using the meeting ID, this is automatically generated by TeamViewer and will be key to access since without it we will not be able to enter the meeting.
Every meeting held through TeamViewer is encrypted and protected from any attempt of unauthorized access.
To access or create a meeting in TeamViewer, we access the application and go to the "Meeting" section where we will see the following:
