Policies offer the ability to apply settings on your installed TeamViewer full clients or TeamViewer Hosts.

These policies can be assigned to device groups, allowing for granular control over which configuration settings are applied to specific groups of devices.

By creating device groups and assigning policies to them, administrators can easily manage and control the settings of multiple devices simultaneously, streamlining the configuration process and ensuring consistency across all devices.

This approach can save time and effort for IT teams, especially when managing a large number of devices in a distributed environment.

This article applies to all TeamViewer license holders.
