Connect to Azure Virtual Desktop with the web client
Important
This content applies to Azure Virtual Desktop with Azure Resource Manager Azure Virtual Desktop objects. If you're using Azure Virtual Desktop (classic) without Azure Resource Manager objects, see this article.
The web client lets you access your Azure Virtual Desktop resources from a web browser without the lengthy installation process.
Note
The web client doesn't currently have mobile OS support.
Supported operating systems and browsers
Important
As of September 30, 2021, the Azure Virtual Desktop web client no longer supports Internet Explorer. We recommend that you use Microsoft Edge to connect to the web client instead. For more information, see our blog post.
While any HTML5-capable browser should work, we officially support the following operating systems and browsers.
| Browser | Supported OS | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Edge | Windows | |
| Apple Safari | macOS | |
| Mozilla Firefox | Windows, macOS, Linux | Version 55 or later |
| Google Chrome | Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS |
Access remote resources feed
In a browser, navigate to the Azure Resource Manager-integrated version of the Azure Virtual Desktop web client at https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient and sign in with your user account.
Note
If you're using Azure 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.
To connect to the Azure China portal, use https://rdweb.wvd.azure.cn/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 Azure 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.
