How to allow remote control via TeamViewer (Mac only)

This article explains how to allow remote control via TeamViewer on Mac.

Apple has introduced a security feature with MacOS 10.14 (and higher) that requires additional permissions to be assigned to TeamViewer to allow us to control your Mac after connecting to your computer via TeamViewer.


Upon downloading TeamViewer, you will be asked to review the System access permissions. If you accidentally miss this prompt at first, there's no need to be concerned.
You can always revisit it later to check and adjust as needed by following the steps below:

  1. Open the TeamViewer App. 
  2. Click Help on the top of your screen. 
  3. Select Check system access
    💡 The yellow triangle indicates that full access has not been granted.
