multiple logins are pretty slick

I was pleased, and a little surprised, to find out that TeamViewer hosts multiple logins. That is, if I connect from my computer to a remote computer, someone else can also connect to the same remote computer at the same time with their own computer. What's more, on the remote machine screen everyone sees, everyone sees multiple cursors, one for each machine it is connected to. That is, you're not all fighting for one cursor. So one can do a "conference call" on the screen, where the same remote screen is displayed, and controlled independently, from several computers. You can use your cursor to point things out to people so connected. I guess it would be nice if the cursors were distinguishable. As in, Joe has a cursor that looks like this, and Patty has a cursor that looks different. But they are all the same. No biggie.

I assume everyone knows about this, but it was a bit of a surprise to me.

I should add that on further experimentation, I see that on the remote machine, you always see just ONE cursor. That one cursor is shared by the user of the remote machine, and the user of the local machine that connected to the remote machine. On each local machine, you see your own cursor *and* the cursor being controlled at the remote machine. That's until you start using your own local cursor, and the one on the remote machine disappears. So on your local machine, while you're moving your cursor, you don't see any other cursors on the remote machine. That's all a bit strange.

Not only one cursor, but shared 'clipboard' too...

Be wary if you are copying and pasting say a password...
