Hey geeks, how can you access your favorite Windows environment from any device, whether it’s a PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android device, or even directly from your web browser?
Well, thanks to this unified app from Microsoft, you can easily connect to Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Remote Desktop, Remote Desktop Services, or even Microsoft Dev Box. No more struggling with multiple apps or services, as Microsoft has centralized everything in one sleek interface! Take a look:
Now, let’s talk a little about the features of this app that make it as cool as a Michel Barnier cosplay. First of all, you can customize your home screen according to your needs… And if you need to work with multiple monitors, that’s no problem either since it supports multi-screen just as well as a Twitch streamer.
Do you have USB peripherals like printers, webcams, or external hard drives? No worries, USB redirection has got you covered. It’s as if your devices were directly connected to your PC through the cloud!
Next, security is top-notch, my friends. With advanced features like multi-factor authentication, your connections will be more secure than Fort Knox. You can work in complete peace of mind, whether you’re in your secret hideout or on a field mission.
In short, whether you’re an end-user or a sysadmin, it’s a huge added value to your daily routine. The Windows App also includes optimizations for Microsoft Teams, enhancing the remote work experience even further. Plus, you can easily switch between different accounts thanks to the account-switching option for Microsoft Entra ID on iOS and macOS.
And for those wondering what happened to the good old Remote Desktop application, know that the Windows App replaces it on macOS, iOS, and Android. If you already had Remote Desktop installed, an update will magically transform it into the Windows App. On Windows, the Remote Desktop Connection app remains available, but you are strongly encouraged to switch to the new Windows App.
In short, the Windows App is a tool as powerful as it is versatile, simplifying and centralizing the management of your Windows environments, whether you’re at the office, at home, or on the go.
You can download the Windows App now from the Microsoft Store, Apple App Store, or Google Play, or access it directly via your web browser.
