Here's a quick list of updates:

 

 

• Two-Factor Authentication – adds additional protection of TeamViewer user accounts by allowing users to retrieve an optional secondary code with their mobile device and a standard authenticator app.
• Easy File Sharing – ability to share files of any size without having to start a traditional remote access session. Faster than email and can transfer files cross-platform.
• Universal Clipboard – gives users the ability to copy files from their device and paste directly onto a remote desktop simply by using Copy & Paste (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V).
• Notifications – a friendly notification pop-up window located in the Computers & Contacts list that gathers all TeamViewer system notifications including ITbrain alerts in one place for easy management.
• Custom Branding – Businesses can customize the TeamViewer modules QuickSupport, QuickJoin and Host one time without the need to repeat after a software update. A unique customizable link guides supported users to the current version of a module stored within the TeamViewer Management Console, where the module can be shared and customized within a support team.

 

The Team Viewer API consists of 2 new features:

• Reporting API – a language-neutral and power REST API to retrieve report data from the TeamViewer Management Console, saving time by automating complex reporting tasks and integrating TeamViewer data with existing business data for deeper insights.
• User Management API – allows organizations to minimize disruption by synchronizing user data between the company’s existing user management system and TeamViewer. This allows developers to write applications to manage TeamViewer user accounts in a company profile as well as migrate from and integrate with existing IT infrastructure.

All in all looks like version 9 of Team Viewer is worth the download, even though it's still in beta.

So is this just like remote desktop? (I don't have time to read all of this as I'm currently procrastinating )

I'm surprised that you've never heard of Team Viewer before, but yes, it's a remote desktop application. There's also an Android app for it.

Hmm I should consider this...it would make it easy to program when I'm not at home. I've only returned to the Windows world for a few months now and even so, I don't leave the house much so I wouldn't know much about remote desktop apps
