2. In the Admin Portal, go to <font color="#323232">Devices &amp; Users &gt; Devices</font>.
3. Select the entry for the device.
4. Confirm that the device is supported by Help\@Work for iOS.
   See [Supported devices](docId\:cHyuB7FJvpvGYg2b0M8AO).

See [TeamViewer remote control](https://dl.tvcdn.de/docs/en/v10/TeamViewer10-Manual-Remote-Control-en.pdf) for more information.

## Re-establishing the session

If you close the session window on your desktop, you can re-establish the session using the URL displayed in the Launch TeamViewer Session dialog.

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/V3jJx_afLEcmDauLTrzss/FAs-rw0hWe55XCdPTjub9_tvsession.png" position="flex-start" size="73" width="514" height="254" initialPath="../Resources/Images/TVSession.png" githubPath="Device Management Guide for Apple/Resources/Images/TVSession.png" darkWidth="514" darkHeight="254" showCaption="false" indent="1"}

This dialog displays at the beginning of each session, but might be hidden behind other windows. Copy and paste the displayed URL in a browser window to regain access to the session. Make sure the session ID displayed in the dialog matches the one displayed in the TeamViewer app on the device.
