For application developers, protocol activation is a great way to build Dynamics 365 Remote Assist into your own custom HoloLens application. The user can call someone from the app to collaborate. For example, they can review a 3D model together.

Before, protocol activation would launch Dynamics 365 Remote Assist, but to get back to the custom app after the call ended, the user had to do the bloom gesture and then relaunch the app. We added an optional parameter so the user returns directly to the custom app (or any other app) after the call ends.
