The TeamViewer command bar, which appears at the top of the remote desktop window, is very well designed, with clearly labelled buttons that provide access to commands and settings relating to both your remote session and the computer you're accessing.

You can show the desktop at its original resolution, scale it to fit your own, or expand it to full screen.

You can change the resolution of the remote system and adjust how the remote system’s desktop is displayed locally. Whereas web-based rivals such as LogMeIn display remote desktop sessions in a web browser, TeamViewer uses its own desktop application. TeamViewer's remote access interface is excellent. You can also invite any system on your list to attend a meeting. Otherwise, a shortcut option lets you request that the system’s user grants you access. If a computer has a permanent password configured, you'll be able to access it remotely at any time, whether the user is using the PC or not.

In both cases, this makes it easy to invite people to meetings or request access to their PCs. You can also the contact information of other TeamViewer users, although you’ll have to add these contacts manually first. The Computers & Contacts window lists the computers associated with your account. The main interface is a no-frills affair.
