Analysis of TeamViewer

Ludwig and Clemens from Weimar and Brendan from UCSD worked to analyze the TeamViewer teleconferencing software.

Our approach was simply to first attempt a more traditional, conference like discussion over the software, discussing its merits, features and usability.

After investigating the base functionality of the software, we attempted to "break" or "misuse" the software to create musically interesting sounds with no outside processing beyond mic positioning and volume.

The Software

TeamViewer is a teleconferencing software, geared towards setting up "meetings" between remote users, with an emphasis on presentation and screen sharing. The software's most significant features relate to the interactivity between a displayed screen and users, with several levels of participation (audio only, video only, etc.) selectable for different members of a meeting. It also supports large numbers of present users, and generates unique meetings with invitations and private ids.
