When the number of assigned device for AnyViewer account reaches the limit, and you log in to the account on a new device, you need to remove a device from the My Devices' list, then the new device can be listed here, steps for removal are as follows.

Note: For a free account, it can only support to log in to 3 devices.

Recently Connected:

Any recently connected devices will be listed in "Currently connected list", including team devices/mobile devices.

This option mainly used to remember previously connected device IDs and security codes.

Operations available in the Recently connected list

If devices are only in the recently connected list, not in My devices, you can complete the following operations: Remote control, View screen, File transfer, Screen wall, Properties.

Regarding the remote control function, it requires consideration on a case-by-case basis:

If the security code of the last connection remains unchanged, a remote connection can be initiated directly without entering the device ID.

If the security code changes, when initiating a remote connection again from the Recently connected devices, a request connection request window will pop up, waiting for the recipient side to accept.

This proves useful for temporary client devices requiring subsequent reconnections, enabling swift initiation of remote sessions from this location.

New Team

For enterprises that frequently need to provide remote support to customers, customer devices can be added to team devices. Afterward, quickly initiate remote control of team devices under the team device management list.

Team devices mainly involve enterprise users, who can only see them by logging in to the administrator account or a subaccount assigned to the team device.

If devices only in New Team, not in My devices, you can complete the following operations as same as devices in Recently connect list: Remote control, View screen, File transfer, Screen wall, Properties. These devices in team don’t need to log into the same AnyViewer account, even don’t need to log in account. Once the AnyViewer program is installed and running on the team devices, the admin and user accounts can manage them remotely, no extra configuration needed.

Way 2. Manage Devices on the mobile device

If you use the same account to log in to your phone and pc, you can manage your devices from your phone. you can complete these operations on phone or Andriod isted in My devices list.

The functions of managing devices on mobile devices are similar to those on computers, except for unlocking passwords, When the remote connection is successful, the function of the unlock password is to record the lock screen code of the pc and help the user to enter it with one click.
