How can you disable TeamViewer from using/reserving port 80? I am certain in the previous version <v4.1.6 there used to be a radio button option in "options" which disabled it from needing it, but now I cannot find it.

Is port 80 serisouly required by this remote desktop app? It is conflicting with IIS on our development server and becoming a real pain.

Thanks all.

  • This question came up when I found an HTTP server on my network, serving the page: "This site is running TeamViewer. Free Port 80 for other applications in advanced settings." Based on Deanna's answer below, it is presumably running TeamViewer <9. – mwfearnley Jan 11 '19 at 12:42

Did you enable the Direct-In Modus? You can disable it in 

   Options > Advanced > Network > TeamViewer DirectIn check

From the manual, page 59 (PDF):

Check Opens a dialog where the availability of TeamViewer is checked. The DirectIn Ports 80 and 5938 do not have to be opened , however, TeamViewer can use these ports - if available - for establishing faster connections.

  • Thanks. I looked at that checkbox, paused on it, then moved on. If only I clicked on options for it I would have noticed it wanted to use port 80! :) Thanks. – GONeale May 23 '09 at 00:50

    Page 59 of the PDF seems incorrect; I found the info about DirectIn options on page 78 of 81 (the PDF itself regards it as page 82). – JYelton Aug 27 '10 at 17:40

  1. Open port 5938 (TCP) on your firewall.

  2. Change the following registry keys.

    • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ TeamViewer\Version4] Key ’GatewayAllowed’ set to 0 * [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer\Version4] Key ’ListenHttp’ set to 0

On the new teamviewer you go to advanced settings and then Don't use port 80

If you are using Windows 7 x64, you will find that the registry keys are in a different location. I have searched the registry and cannot find anything along the lines of 'GatewayAllowed'. The other key is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version6\ListenHttp

A fresh install of TeamViewer 9 no longer hijacks port 80 by default. For prior versions, the other fixes normally work.

The DirectIn check merely checks whether port 80 is forwarded through your router, it does not stop hijacking port 80. There is a registry change that you can make (two values need to be changes, one obvious, one non). I don't have the details with me, but if you telephone TV tech support, ignore their "this is just how it works" and insist on talking to a tech, you may be able to get it. I'll post the changes as soon as I get to my own computer.

You can disable this behavior in TeamViewer version 5.1 or newer.

Open TeamViewer options under Extras > Options > Advanced. Enable the option "Don't use incoming port 80 (recommended for web servers only)" so that TeamViewer won’t try to take the Port again.

Starting the Apache server before teamviewer seems to solve this problem.
