The Microsoft Remote Desktop client is used to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop to access your desktops and applications. This article shows you how to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop with the Remote Desktop Microsoft Store client.

Important

We're no longer updating the Microsoft Store client with new features.

For the best Azure Virtual Desktop experience that includes the latest features and fixes, we recommend you download the Remote Desktop client for Windows instead.

You can find a list of all the Remote Desktop clients at Remote Desktop clients overview.

If you want to connect to Remote Desktop Services or a remote PC instead of Azure Virtual Desktop, see Connect to Remote Desktop Services with the Remote Desktop Microsoft Store client.

Prerequisites

Before you can access your resources, you'll need to meet the prerequisites:

  • Internet access.

  • A device running Windows 11 or Windows 10.

  • Download and install the Remote Desktop client from the Microsoft Store.

Subscribe to a workspace

A workspace combines all the desktops and applications that have been made available to you by your admin. To be able to see these in the Remote Desktop client, you need to subscribe to the workspace by following these steps:

  1. Open the Remote Desktop app on your device.

  2. In the Connection Center, select + Add, then select Workspaces.

  3. In the Email or Workspace URL box, either enter your user account, for example user@contoso.com, or the relevant URL from the following table. After a few seconds, the message We found Workspaces at the following URLs should be displayed.

    Tip

    If you see the message We couldn't find any Workspaces associated with this email address. Try providing a URL instead, your admin might not have set up email discovery. Use one of the following workspace URLs instead.

    Azure environment Workspace URL
    Azure cloud (most common) https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com
    Azure US Gov https://rdweb.wvd.azure.us/api/arm/feeddiscovery
    Azure China 21Vianet https://rdweb.wvd.azure.cn/api/arm/feeddiscovery

  4. Select Subscribe.

  5. Sign in with your user account. After a few seconds, your workspaces should show the desktops and applications that have been made available to you by your admin.

Once you've subscribed to a workspace, its content will update automatically regularly. Resources may be added, changed, or removed based on changes made by your admin.

Connect to your desktops and applications

  1. Open the Remote Desktop app on your device.

  2. Select one of the icons to launch a session to Azure Virtual Desktop. You may be prompted to enter the password for your user account again, depending on how your admin has configured Azure Virtual Desktop.
