Its not as simple as download and install or dpkg -i teamviewer.deb. Now with 32 bit systems a simple dpkg -i teamviewer.deb might suffice. By teamviewer.deb, i mean the full file name whatever it is, too lazy too copypaste it right now.
HOW TO TEAMVIEWER ON KALI LINUX
###############################
FIRST JUST JUST TRY THEN
========================
Download Teamviewer version 7 or 8 in the 64 bit for Ubuntu/debian, (i did because 64 bit because I have 64 bit machine)
# cd folderwheredownload
# dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
IF GET DEPENDENCY ISSUES
========================
First check your architecture
# uname -a
Linux kalikos 3.7-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.7.2-0+kali8 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Then check current architecture with dpkg
# dpkg –print-architecture
you should see amd64 (Thats because thats the flavor of kali I installed, they dont have an intel64 – remember amd64 is just 64 bit and it works for intel and amd… amd made 64 bit first and then intel adopted it as well – also my pcs “cat /proc/cpuinfo” shows this in case you are curious: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz)
For teamviewer install to work right we will need to add a foreign architecture
# dpkg –print-foreign-architectures
It should be empty, but if its not thats okay, just make sure you add i386 like this
# dpkg –add-architecture i386
Confirm its added with:
# dpkg –print-foreign-architectures
You should now see the i386
anyhow you might need to run dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.dev again so that it tries to fix those same errors.
fix errors like this, they should download alot of things
# apt-get -f install <— note probably didnt need this, but I ran it like that oh well
# apt-get update
# apt-get -f install <— technically tou dont need to run this after but I did
Now running this will fix
# dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
teamviewer &
Note: you will be okay to leave the extra added foreign architecture but you can remove it with

Installing Teamviewer 64bit on Kali OS.
While I was trying to install Teamviewer on my 64 bit Kali OS install,I ran into some missing dependencies. One of them was a i386 package, which cannot be installed on 64 bit unless multiple architecture support is enabled in your Install.
For this we first allow i386 to be installed as a multiarch.
root@kali:/home/dhakkan/Downloads# dpkg –add-architecture i386
Now we need to update our repositories.
root@kali:/home/dhakkan/Downloads# apt-get update
Now we can deploy i386 packages on 64 bit as multiarch
Now time to install the package.
dhakkan@kali:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
You will get errors for unmet dependency which can be installed by using following command
dhakkan@kali:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install -f
and it should be good to go.
My update to it:
Then just try to run the app “teamviewer” tab tab and see if you get teamviewer and teamviewer7… if you do just run teamviewer7 & there is no need to run the dpkg command again. The teamviewer & will launch what looks like the windows installer for the app and then you hit next for the app to start (note there isnt an installer its more of a disclaimer my bad).
