According to the announcement, this will offer users a “consistent experience” across devices, and it will also minimize maintenance costs and installation. This will trigger quick and easy access from non-personal devices as well. Remote Desktop Service team also offered a glimpse of the main page of the web client, a desktop session in the browser, RemoteApp session in a few photos.
Additional functionalities will be added in the future
The first release of the web client will be able to access apps and desktops that are published from a Remote Desktop Services deployment. It will also have the ability to copy text to and from the session and print it into PDF files. The release is available in 18 languages for now, and its functionality will be extended via future releases that will be based on users’ feedback. You can learn more about the web client on Microsoft’s blog post here where you can see the pictures of what you can expect from it as well.
Setting up the Remote Desktop web client
The Remote Desktop web client allows users to access your organization’s Remote Desktop infrastructure via a compatible web browser. Users will have the ability to interact with remote apps/desktops just the same way that they would do it on a local PC, regardless of their location. After the Remote Desktop web client is set, users will need an URL where they can access the client along with the required credentials and obviously a supported web browser. You can learn the complete steps needed to set up the web client and how to publish and update the Remote Desktop web client from Microsoft’s official notes. In the meantime, until the Remote Desktop Service is released, we strongly recommend Mikogo, an award-winning cross-platform solution for remote web access. There is no need to download anything. Simply register for free using a web browser and start enjoying the benefits instantly.
