What is a .TVS file?
A .TVS file is a type of video file that is made using a program called TeamViewer. TeamViewer is a special software that lets people control another computer from far away. For example, if you need help fixing something on your computer, a friend can use TeamViewer to connect to your computer from their house and see your screen as if they were sitting right next to you. The .TVS file contains a video of what happened during one of these remote control sessions. This is really useful because it lets you make videos showing how to do something on a computer, or it can keep a record of what was done during a help session. If you want to watch the video that's inside a .TVS file, you need to use TeamViewer.
There are different versions of TeamViewer that can open a .TVS file. You can use TeamViewer on Linux computers, or if you prefer, there's also a version of TeamViewer that works directly in your web browser. If you're using a smartphone or tablet, there are apps like "TeamViewer: Remote Control" for iOS devices (like iPhones and iPads) and "TeamViewer for Remote Control" for Android devices that can also handle .TVS files.
If you have a .TVS file and you want to turn it into a more common video format, like .MP4, there's an online tool called "TVS to MP4" that can do this for you. Converting it to .MP4 makes it easier to play the video on different devices or share it with others who might not have TeamViewer.
To make sure TeamViewer saves a video of your remote control sessions automatically, you can set it up by going to the TeamViewer settings. You click on "Extras," then "Options," after that go to "Advanced," and finally, you select the option to "Automatically start Session Recorder when beginning remote control session." This way, every time you start helping someone or get help, TeamViewer will create a .TVS file of the session.
