Let’s document the AVD Web client URL for v1 and ARM (aka v2). I have mentioned the URL details in the previous post. However, wasted 10 minutes searching for the same. Hence decided to post this as a note to me.
In this post, you will see the client-side connectivity option for Azure Virtual Desktop using a web URL. The same web URL can be used to connect Windows 365 Cloud PC offer as well.
Latest AVD Web Client URL Changes
Microsoft is changing AVD Web Client URLs yet another time. I’m assuming this is because of the improvement that they want to introduce with some new platform.
Microsoft announced that beginning 18 April 2022, they are moving the Azure Virtual Desktop web client to a new URL. The new URL is available now and ready for use.
