This article applies to all TeamViewer users and customers.

Every TeamViewer account has its own Contacts list.

In this list, you can easily save all your TeamViewer contacts for instant chats, meetings, and collaboration.

The Contacts list acts similar to your telephone book on your mobile.

Adding contacts

Manually adding contacts

A TeamViewer contact is based on an E-Mail address.

You can easily add contacts to your TeamViewer account by entering their email address.

📌Note: Access to Outlook is only available with Windows

 1) Navigate to Contacts within your TeamViewer Meeting software and click Add Contact

2) In the Add Contact field, enter an email address and click Add

3) In case there is not yet a TeamViewer account associated with this address, you have the possibility to send an invitation. If you want to invite the person to create a TeamViewer account, click Send Invite.

4) The contact will receive an email invitation to create a TeamViewer account. The address already appears in your Contacts but you can not yet send chat messages or start to send a meeting invite. You can revoke your invitation as long as no TeamViewer account has been created.

Importing Contacts from Outlook

In addition to adding accounts manually to your Contacts, you can also allow TeamViewer to access your Outlook contacts so that these contacts are available to you directly in TeamViewer. See below.
