Running remote applications and desktops

To launch a remote application or desktop, do one of the following:

  • Double-click (or tap on a mobile device) an application or a desktop icon. The resource will open inside a web browser or in Parallels Client, depending on the server-side configuration.

  • Right-click (or tap and hold on a mobile device) an application or a desktop to display a context menu. The menu will appear if it is enabled on the server side. The menu allows you to choose whether to open the resource in Parallels Client or Parallels User Portal and it also allows you to choose whether to open an application in the same or new tab in the web browser.

  • If a resource cannot be opened in Parallels Client due to an error, a message will be displayed with an option to open it in the web browser instead.
