Azure Virtual Desktop for external users, multi session possible?

Question

Hi,

currently doing research about azure virtual desktop. I can't find any information if multi-session remote app streaming is possible or not.
I plan to use Azure Virtual Desktop to establish a SaaS Service, so it is intended for external users. To reduce cost even further it would be good to know if multi-session is also possible in this scenario because I can only find information about multi-session when using azure virtual desktop for internal/own organization users.

Thanks, Nicolai

Answer 1

Yes, multi-session app streaming is supported so users can share the same VM resources when using RemoteApps.

There are different licensing options with regards to licensing external users who are not members of the same organisation, as explained in the link below.

Just to note on external users, there is currently no support for external (i.e. B2B / guest users) for Azure Virtual Desktop, i.e. all users must exist on the same tenant.
