- Step 3.Select the ‘Connect’ tab in the bottom left-hand corner of the app.
- Step 4.On your Android smartphone you want to share from, open the TeamViewer Quick Support app. The app will display an ID on the page. Make sure it says ‘Ready to connect’ at the bottom.
- Step 5.Enter the ID from your Android smartphone to the ‘Connect’ tab in the ‘TeamViewer for Remote Control’ app on your tablet.
