Picture this: Someone you know needs help with their Android device. Crazy, I know, but bear with me here. They need help, and no one else can do the job but you.

You could try guiding them over the phone, but doctors have confirmed this as hazardous to your mental health. A better approach would be to send them a link to the TeamViewer app and remote into the device yourself. Thing is, you're using a Chromebook. Yeah, your friends gave you crap when you bought it, but those things have gotten pretty good these days.

Fortunately you're not out of luck. The beta version of TeamViewer 11 is now ready for download, and it adds support for Chrome OS and the Chrome browser. Go install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and work your magic. That is what your family member calls what you do with the computer, right? Magic.

You don't even need a warm body at the receiving end anymore. TeamViewer 11 has the capability to access unattended Android devices, as long as someone granted permission beforehand. The feature isn't just for phones and tablets either. It also supports that Android-powered point of sale machine you now regret convincing them to use for their business.

You can also install TeamViewer Host remotely and save everyone some headache on future support calls. The new Android app lets you mirror an Android device on any computer.

There's more to TeamViewer 11 than what I've listed above. In addition to Chrome OS, there's support for Windows 10, OS X El Capitan, iOS 9, and Android Marshmallow. The desktop software has a new toolbar, and maintaining a connection now uses less bandwidth.

Here's a guy that wants to tell you all about it.
