Azure Windows Virtual Desktop Web Client

Note

If you're using Windows Virtual Desktop (classic) without Azure Resource Manager integration, connect to your resources at https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient instead.

If you're using the US Gov portal, use https://rdweb.wvd.azure.us/arm/webclient/index.html.

Note

If you've already signed in with a different Azure Active Directory account than the one you want to use for Windows Virtual Desktop, you should either sign out or use a private browser window.

After signing in, you should now see a list of resources. You can launch resources by selecting them like you would a normal app in the All Resources tab.
