When I tried to run the command teamviewer --info I am getting the following output

root@vps [~]# /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/TeamViewer --info

 TeamViewer                      8.0.20931 

 teamviewerd status              teamviewerd start/running, process 9584 

TeamViewer ID: not found
Try restarting the TeamViewer daemon (e.g. teamviewer --daemon restart)

but I can't find my TeamViewer ID. Is there any other in Configuration settings where I can find my TeamViewer ID?

Set your password first:

teamviewer --passwd newPassword

And the run

teamviewer -info

It will show you the TeamViewer ID

    I just want to emphasize that you SHOULD set the password first. Although it will not show the ID. Sep 13, 2017 at 19:50
  • Not working on TeamViewer server running on Windows (the original question does not set specific operating system, just a example of Linux/Unix shell). Jan 22, 2018 at 14:13

You can inspect the logs :

grep -o "id=[0-9]*" /var/log/teamviewer/TeamViewer8_Logfile.log

  • might be your logs compressed, better is search recursively using grep -Ro "id=[0-9]*" /var/log/ Oct 20, 2013 at 18:42
  • I got snookered initially because I am using TeamViewer 9, so different log path, but its similar enough

  • Or have a look at /var/log/teamviewer/config/global.conf

You can use :

teamviewer --info print version, status, id

    This works perfectly in TV 10. There are, though, some cases when it doesn't (i.e. if you manually restart the service)

    @mcExchange You cannot get existing password but can set new password using : sudo teamviewer passwd [NEW_PASSWORD] May 27, 2016 at 6:33

Windows (the original question does not set specific operating system, just a example of Linux/Unix shell) solution:

cd %PROGRAMFILES%\TeamViewer\Version7
type TeamViewer7_Logfile.log | more

The ID is reported on the head lines. Tested working on v7.

In Linux you can find this in /etc/teamviewer/global.conf. After a couple HUGE lines of gibberish text (certificate keys) you get to ClientIC and ClientID.

The other way is:

nano /etc/teamviewer/global.conf

You could find the ID from the line:

[int32] ClientID = xxxxxxxxxx

Also you could access from your local computer, just make sure you have the lines below:

[int32] EulaAccepted = 1

[int32] General_DirectLAN = 1

On the control side you just use 192.168.1.xxx(the host local IP or hostname) instead of TeamViewer partner ID

You can update your password through command line:

teamviewer passwd YrNewPassword

If you could do a port forwarding on your gateway/router, to port 5938, you could use domain name or WAN IP address instead of the TeamViewer partner ID and control it from anywhere
