Is there any way that I can connect to a computer in a 'view mode' only? Like, I connect to the computer, but without the power of moving the user's pointer at the first time, and then TV let me switch to the 'normal mode'. It will help us to connect without interfering in what the user is currently doing by moving the pointer on the screen. It’s no secret that TeamViewer, the remote desktop client for Windows, Mac and Linux, is popular in our neck of the woods. It’s free and easy to use, but remote access sometimes feels awkward.
By default the Microsoft Windows operating system includes the Remote Desktop component that allows you to connect to a remote computer and work with it as you work with your local computer.
Using this component you can run and monitor automated tests on remote computers: you can connect to a test computer using a Remote Desktop connection and use the Remote Desktop window to work with the remote computer on your PC. For more information on running automated tests by using the Remote Desktop component, see About Running Tests via Remote Desktop.
While running GUI tests via the Remote Desktop component, keep in mind that the Remote Desktop window must be visible on screen. If you minimize the Remote Desktop window or disconnect from the Remote Desktop Connection session, the GUI tests will fail. To work around this problem, see the Running Tests in Minimized Remote Desktop Windows help topic.
However, sometimes, you may need to follow test running, so you may need to control the remote desktop. In this case, the screen resolution on the remote computer must be the same as on the master computer. Sometimes, it may be inconvenient. To work around this problem, you can specify the settings of the Remote Desktop connection, save them in an external .rdp file, and then use this file to start a Remote Desktop Connection session with the needed settings. Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to do this.
Open Remote Desktop Connection. The way you do this depends on the operating system you use.
Expand the displayed dialog by clicking Show Options.
In the Connection settings group of settings, click Save As to create an .rdp file that will store the Remote Desktop Connection settings.
In the resulting Save As dialog, specify the desired name and path for the created file, and then click Save.
Close the Remote Desktop Connection window.
Open the created .rdp file in any editor of your choice, for example, in Notepad, and add the following string at the end of the file:
Make sure that the parameters desktopwidth:i:1280 and desktopheight:i:1024 match the server's desktop resolution. You can also change the color settings. For this purpose, replace the value session bpp:i:8 with the session bpp:i:24 string.
Double-click the .rdp file to start a Remote Desktop Connection session.
After that, you can resize the Remote Desktop window as you wish, at that, the window will show the entire remote desktop. So, you can make the Remote Desktop window smaller and you will be able to control your test remotely.

If you are starting TeamViewer on your Mac running macOS 10.15 (Catalina) for the first time, you will be prompted with the following dialog:
By default, all permissions are set to Denied. Please give permission to the system capabilities manually to use TeamViewer as desired. If you or others need to access the Mac remotely, Screen Recording and Accessibility are required at a minimum.
To allow the access, click the buttons shown in the dialog. Eg. click Open Full Disk Access Preferences... which will bring you to the Full Disk Access section of the Privacy pane, inside the Security & Privacy preferences:
For the Accessibility access you will need to click the padlock icon in the lower-left corner to make changes. You will be prompted to enter the credentials of an administrator account to continue.
Put a check next to TeamViewer to grant it access:
Repeat the same for Screen Recording and Accessibility if desired. Those are required to control your Mac.
Click again on the padlock in the lower-left corner to prevent further changes.
