Copy and paste is one of the most prominent features that you can use in TeamViewer as well. After a recent update, some users have reported that their Copy and Paste feature isn’t working properly. Considering one of the popular remote assistance services having this kind of problem encountering a lot of people, so without further delay, let’s check how you can fix it.
Fix: Copy and paste does not work in TeamViewer.
There are multiple ways to fix this error, and sometimes it also happens because the remote person has not logged in to the clipboard. So ensuring everything, and also enabling synchronization, can fix the copy-and-paste issue in Teamviewer.
Try to enable clipboard synchronization.
- Open Teamviewer on your PC, and then head over to the top bar and click on Extras.
- From there, click on the option and select the advanced option.
- Click on the Show Advanced option and navigate to the Advanced Settings for connection to another computer.
- Check the box with the name Clipboard Synchronisation, and then hit OK.
- That’s it. Restart Teamviewer.
Use another third-party remote desktop tool.
If it still doesn’t work, you can use any other third-party remote desktop tool, such as Anydesk. It also functions the same way. On the other hand, there are multiple and various third-party remote desktop tools available to try.
Reboot your PC or reinstall the Teamviewer Desktop Tool.
If it still doesn’t function and you still want to use the Teamviewer desktop tool, you can reboot your PC to remove a temporary glitch, cache it, or reboot after updating Windows. Therefore, if it still doesn’t function, update your Teamviewer desktop tool or re-install and re-check if your Copy and Paste (Clipboard) function is working.
Use the Copy-Paste option.
If you are using shortcuts to copy or paste, or this might not function with your TeamViewer Desktop tool, you can use the manual method to use the Copy/Paste function.
- Select what you want to copy, and then right-click to open the option.
- Click on the Copy button and then choose paste at the end, or use copy/paste accordingly.
- That’s it.
