For your deployment, you will need to create a customized version of TeamViewer (=custom module).

You can do this directly from the Management Console under Design & Deploy.

By creating your custom module, you will get two essential values:

  • the CUSTOMID will trigger the module's customization.
  • the APITOKEN will trigger the account assignment.

💡 Hint: Keep both values safe. We will be using them in the following article.

This article applies to Corporate and Tensor license holders who want to deploy TeamViewer (14 or newer) on their Windows devices.

Recommended Setup

🚨 Important note: Before creating a module, please make sure you have created a Master TeamViewer account. We recommend creating modules exclusively from a Master account.

Background information: Custom modules are bound to one owner. This owner is defined by the account that created the module.

Example: User A creates Custom Module 1.

  • Once User A leaves the company, no one can manage Custom Module 1, as the account of User A is disabled and not accessible to others.

This is why we recommend using a Master Account that is not bound to a specific person.

For more information about the use of a Master account, please check the following article:
