What can you do with Windows App?

Windows App is designed with a customizable home screen to cater to your unique workflow needs.

Before you can download Windows App and connect to your desktops and apps, you need:

• Internet access to download Windows App and connect to Azure Virtual Desktop. Most networks don’t block access to the internet, but if your network does, you need to allow access to the list at Required FQDNs and endpoints for Azure Virtual Desktop. Contact your network administrator if you need help.
• Your user account for Azure Virtual Desktop, and you’re assigned devices or apps by your administrator.
