All known file formats using extension .TVC

While NK - BMP/TV Lossless Compressed Bitmap is a popular type of TVC-file, we know of 2 different uses of the .TVC file extension. Different software may use files with the same extension for different types of data.

TeamViewer Configuration

TeamViewer Configuration files (.TVC) store saved connection settings used by TeamViewer, a remote control and desktop sharing application. The program generates a TVC file after a successful connection to record information like which computer was connected to ("target ID") and what kind of session was started (for example "RemoteSupport" or "Meeting"). These files let TeamViewer quickly recall past partners for reconnecting or selecting from a dropdown list of previously used IDs.

The user's computer writes the TVC file, usually placing it in a folder such as AppData\Roaming\TeamViewer\MRU\RemoteSupport or MRU\Meeting. TeamViewer itself reads these files and shows their contents when the user opens the "Remote Support" or "Meeting" dropdown in its interface. The file is plain text, so anyone can open it in a text editor, but editing it outside TeamViewer won't necessarily change how TeamViewer records future connections.

Internally the file starts with a header line "[TeamViewer Configuration]" followed by sections that include keywords like targetID (the remote TeamViewer ID), action (type of connection such as Meeting or RemoteSupport), and sometimes other fields. The lines are formatted with an equals sign between field name and value ("targetID = 958,223,731") and may include additional metadata in newer versions.
