I'm wondering if it's possible to connect to a computer through TeamViewer without having the screen show what you're doing.

For example if it's a computer at home or at work which is standing where other people might be, I'd prefer to be able to use it without them seeing what I'm doing :)

I simply want to use my own computers remotely without the monitor suddenly flashing on. I rarely physically turn my monitors off when I leave. I just let them go into power-save mode. I'd pretty much just like it to not break that mode :) No dubious intentions! – Svish Jun 22 '12 at 16:31
I don't know about TeamViewer, but if you're willing to consider a different software package, LogMeIn has a special driver that blanks the screen when you connect, if you so desire. – nhinkle♦ Mar 7 at 4:13

No, but you can try looking for other remote administration software. those which allow you to access the remote system in "stealth" are usually trojans or backdoors which are not appropriate to discuss here.

Yeah, my goal wasn't going stealth per se, just not trigger the monitors to "wake up". – Svish Jun 22 '12 at 16:32
