![]() ![]() When you connect to the Cloud PC, it open in full screen, which gives the impression that you’re running Windows 10 natively on the Mac. When all that is done, the Cloud PC will show up in the app as it does on Windows. Then, open Remote Desktop, choose Workspace > Add Workspace, paste in the subscription URL, authenticate, and then add your Cloud PC to the app. Similar to the Windows version, you then need to get a subscription URL from the Windows 365 website. To get started with Windows 365, I downloaded and installed Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac Store. So in the spirit of my earlier mile-high examination of Windows 365, here’s what it’s like to access this service on these other platforms. But what about other platforms like Mac, Chromebook, and iPad?Įach presents its own challenges, but it’s interesting to note that Microsoft makes a native Remote Desktop client on Mac and iPad (and on Android), while Chromebook users will typically access the service via the web client. Because of Googles track record with product support, this will never get fixed and thus I will never use this product.Yesterday, I looked at the experience of using Windows 365 on Windows 10/11 using the Remote Desktop app. And no I’m not going to just unplug my second monitor every time I walk away from my computer in case I need to connect with Remote Desktop. The only display option I have is to resize desktop to fit.īecause of this, I have to rate it 1 star because it is simply UNUSABLE for me in its current state. ![]() Apparently that option isn’t there anymore. I’ve googled this problem and everyone says the solution is to change which monitor to display. That’s not useful because when I open windows they default to the primary window, and guess what, I can’t see them. However, the app isn’t at all useful to me because of one thing: there is no option to change display.įor some reason when I connect to my desktop it defaults to showing the second monitor only. I want to start by saying that I love the potential an app like this brings, being able to access my computer from anywhere, even if it is just to check a date or a password etc. I hope you would take this suggestion into consideration because it would be so helpful to most of not all users of the Chrome Remote Desktop app. That would really bring it all together, and instead of having it integrated make it a custom Keyboard that you have to enable in settings and all that but have its option settings in the app. ![]() It bugs me quite a bit that they haven't thought to do it yet because it is nessessary! How is anyone supposed to use Esc or any of the other essential keys?! A 4 layer keyboard would be great, first layer has the letters, backspace, Shift/CapsLock, space bar, return/enter and the main punctuation marks ( like most regular keyboards) And again like most keyboards there would be a second and third layer of numbers and other symbols and then ANOTHER layer that has all the Esc, Ctrl, Shift, Windows, Tab, Print Screen, F1-F12 buttons among others. ![]() I have been using this app for a while now and it has been incredibly useful in so many situations but there is one thing that bugs me so much The app needs is own custom Keyboard, a semi transparent, customizable keyboard. I LOVE THE APP BUT THERE IS SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDED. ![]()
