TeamViewer: Features Overview by Platform

What

TeamViewer includes many different functions that make it superior to our earlier toolset (Observe Client) which was limited to Mac and Windows and was screen control only.  The functions in TeamViewer vary by operating system and are quite extensive.  The following is a high-level overview of functionality per platform:
