Setup Remote Control

Remote control your main CoverJock computer with Teamviewer using a LAN connection. Having the ability to have remote access to the main machine can be vital, be anywhere in the club and answer stage calls or put dancers off on private dancers. If on the other hand you have a marker, hand the remote control unit to them and they can walk around marking dances.

If the club would like the CoverJock team to setup the Teamviewer for you, there is a setup charge. Please email support@coverjock.com to learn more.

Note

Teamviewer is capable of running on Mac, iPads, Android and Surface tablets as well as Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. To download Teamviewer on the remote go to the Apple store (iPad), Google Play store (Android) or click here to download on Windows.

Tip

As well as using the IP address of the CoverJock machine you can also use the computer name instead.

If you decide to use the Teamviewer ID this requires a Teamviewer license, if you don't have a license you will only be allowed 10 minutes of remote access then be kicked off for a period of time. Using the IP address or computer name does not require a license.
