The app is equipped with numerous impressive features that allow users to easily access their PCs from a distance. It is compatible with Windows Professional or Enterprise and Windows Server. Users can also access content shared by their IT admin and connect through a Remote Desktop Gateway. Additionally, the app supports Windows gestures for a seamless touch experience. It ensures the security of data and apps, while enabling users to conveniently manage all connections in the Connection Center. Furthermore, it offers high-quality video and audio streaming capabilities.
