What's new in the web client

We regularly update the Remote Desktop web client, adding new features and fixing issues. Here's where you can find the latest updates.

Note

We've changed the versioning system for the web client. Starting with version 1.0.18.0, all web client release versions will contain numbers (in the format of "W.X.Y.Z"). Release numbers for the Remote Desktop web client will always end with a 0 (for example, W.X.Y.0). Each Azure Virtual Desktop web client release will change the last digit until the next Remote Desktop web client release (for example, 1.0.18.1).
