- Master whitelist

- Chat history and persistent chat groups
- Refer back to a previous discussion to find information or help resolve an issue. TeamViewer 10 provides a complete chat history for all conversations, and chats are end-to-end encrypted. Create persistent chat groups for ongoing discussions as well.
- One-click video calls
- Reach out to your colleagues using video and VoIP in exceptional quality for both image and audio without having to first start a meeting. See and talk to multiple participants simultaneously in a single call, and share your screen at any time. As always, security is paramount to TeamViewer, so video calls are end-to-end encrypted just as regular screen sharing meetings are.
- Add your profile picture
- Put a face to your name and a personal touch to your online presence. Your profile picture is displayed in the Computers & Contacts list, chat window, request dialogs, and similar locations where it helps to identify you and add to your professional image.

- Computers & Contacts API
- Integrate your computers and contacts into any software by taking advantage of the Computers & Contacts API. See, for example, when your customers are online, and establish a connection to them from within your software. Synchronize information, and easily access, manage, and edit your computers and contacts.
- Idle session timeout
- With user-definable session timeout limits, supporters and their clients never have to worry about idle sessions remaining open.
- Service cases in TeamViewer Host
- Set up spontaneous support in addition to unattended access. Users can request spontaneous support that automatically generates a service case. There is no need to run a different module.
- Integration with Dropbox, Google Drive, and more
- Share files during meetings or remote control sessions by using Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Box. Have your files available to share from wherever you are. With your data already in the cloud, you save both time and bandwidth.
