Connect to Azure Virtual Desktop (classic) with the web client

  • Article

Important

This content applies to Azure Virtual Desktop (classic), which doesn't support Azure Resource Manager Azure Virtual Desktop objects. If you're trying to manage Azure Resource Manager Azure Virtual Desktop 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

While any HTML5-capable browser should work, we officially support the following operating systems and browsers.

Browser Supported OS Notes
Microsoft Edge Windows
Internet Explorer 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 Virtual Desktop web client at https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient/index.html and sign in with your user account.

Important

We plan to start automatically redirecting to a new web client URL at https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient/index.html as of April 18th, 2022. The current URLs at https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient/index.html and https://www.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient/index.html will still be available, but we recommend you update your bookmarks to the new URL at https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient/index.html as soon as possible.

Note

If you're using Azure Virtual Desktop with Azure Resource Manager integration, connect to your resources at https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html instead.

Note

If you've already signed in with a different Microsoft Entra 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.
