Here are the key requirements for accessing mCloud Virtual Desktop Services:
Compatible Device: An end user can access AVD from a variety of devices including Windows PCs, Macs, iOS devices (iPhones and iPads), Android devices, and even through a web browser on any machine.
Operating System: Ensure the device is running a compatible operating system. For Windows clients, it's typically Windows 10 or later. For Macs, a recent version of macOS is needed. Similarly, updated versions of iOS and Android are required for smartphones and tablets.
Internet Connection: A stable and reliable internet connection is crucial. The speed required can vary, but a faster connection provides a better experience, especially for high-demand applications or video streaming.
Azure Virtual Desktop Client: For a more seamless experience, installing the Azure Virtual Desktop client application on the device is recommended. This client is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Web Browser for Web Access: If the user prefers or needs to access AVD via a web browser, they should use a supported browser like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Safari.
Screen Resolution: While AVD can adapt to various screen sizes and resolutions, having a decent resolution (at least 1024x768) will enhance the user experience.
Peripheral Devices: If the user needs to use peripheral devices like printers or external hard drives, they should ensure these are compatible with their local device and properly set up.
Bandwidth Considerations: For activities that demand higher bandwidth, like video conferencing or graphic-intensive applications, a higher-speed internet connection is beneficial.
Access Credentials: You will need proper credentials (username and password), to access the virtual desktop.
These requirements are designed to ensure that end users have a smooth and productive experience when using mCloud Virtual Desktop Services.
