External access to Azure Windows VM in browser via URL or link

Question

Hi,

I created an Azure Windows VM using the Azure portail.
I could successfully access it via the RDP protocol.

The true goal is to make it possible for some external people (who wouldn't have access to my Azure profile) to access the VM preferably in a browser (they wouldn't need to download and use the RDP file) if I give them some sort of URL or link (it would be perfect if I could set a password they would have to enter to access it).
I think that might be possible if I set a public IP adress to my VM but I'm not sure IP adresses allow one to use the VM or if this is just a matter of connectivity between machines and data sets (for instance).

Any help would be very much appreciated :)

Hello

You can try this
windows admin center (wac)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/windows-admin-center
or
Hv Manager
https://www.hv-manager.org/

In case of wac you will have to limit the user and suffer bugs with it :(
But wac has good integration with Azure.

In case of Hv Manager
This gives good access to the vm by account.
You will need to load add a server that has hyper-V and that's it.
If not with hyper-V, then you can try adding a virtual machine as a server :)
In any case, I would try two solutions, the beginning of the Hv Manager, because it is many times easier than the windows admin center.

There is also an article: Remote access to Hyper-V(Vms) through a browser
This article compares wac and Hv Manager.
Basically, it all depends on the goal.
