..from a laptop to a Fire Tablet 7"?

I bought one for my sister for Christmas, and she still needs help as she is new to using an ereader. I've been using remote control on my laptop to her pc for a few years now, but it isn't working the same. I use TeamViewer app but am open to any other suggestions.

Thank you much, Denise

I found the answer and I will add it here in case someone else is ever in search of Remote Controlling help.

On TeamViewer "remote control" you add the TeamViewer App to your Fire Tablet 7". On the device you want to take control of, you add an APP called QuickSupport by TeamViewer. Then the QuickSupport Id # goes into the TV on the other Fire Tablet, and there you go.

Thanks anyway, but I do hope this might help someone else one day denise

Thanks! Didn't even know TeamViewer made an Android App.

However, I installed the Quick Support app on my Fire 7 and it isn't supporting screen sharing from the Fire for some reason. I wonder if it's because I'm running a custom (Nexus) ROM on the Fire.

UPDATE: OK got it working. The Fire needed the HOST app installed and a few plug ins that automatically got installed after, and finally it's working.
