Let’s document the AVD Web client URL for v1 and ARM (v2). I mentioned the URL details in the previous post. However, I wasted 10 minutes searching for them, so I decided to post this as a note to myself.
Azure Virtual Desktop is designed for organizations that are proficient in implementing and managing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. It is intended to provide employees with a secure, remote Windows desktop experience suitable for various use cases.
You will find your workspaces when logging into the Remote Desktop Web client. These workspaces combine all the desktops and applications your administrator has made available to you.
In this post, you will see the client-side connectivity option for Azure Virtual Desktop using a web URL. The same web URL can connect to the Windows 365 Cloud PC offer.

Latest AVD Web Client URL Changes
Microsoft is changing AVD Web Client URLs yet again. I assume this is to introduce improvements with new platforms.
Microsoft announced that beginning 18 April 2022, the Azure Virtual Desktop web client will be moved to a new URL. The new URL is available now and ready for use.
Azure Virtual Desktop Web Client:
Old: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html
Old: https://www.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html
