Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD),[1] is a Microsoft Azure-based system for virtualizing its Windows operating systems, providing virtualized desktops and applications in the cloud (over the Internet).[2][3] It is aimed at enterprise customers rather than at individual users.[4]

WVD was first announced by Microsoft in September 2018,[5] available as a public preview in March 2019,[6] and generally available at the end of September 2019.[7]

The Windows Virtual Desktop client is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and HTML5 web browsers.[8]
