You can set your own custom URL for Azure Virtual Desktop's web browser client using a simple, cost-effective solution. This improves accessibility and aligns the client with your corporate domain, making it easier for users to remember and access their virtual desktops without relying on a generic, long link.
Currently, all users access their browser-based virtual desktops via a single default link: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/webclient/index.html. This isn't ideal for organizations that want to use their own corporate domain for access. The default link is also long and can be hard to remember if not bookmarked.
To change the URL in Azure, you can use Azure Functions. This allows you to execute code in a serverless environment, avoiding the need for a virtual machine or publishing a web application. Functions are triggered by events, so users create a simple HTTP trigger. The process is straightforward, as everything can be completed within the Azure portal.
