Editing RDS settings in Microsoft Remote Desktop

 

Display Settings

 

To access display settings in the Microsoft Remote Desktop for mac you’ll want to right-click the remote connection then select edit. Once we click edit, we’ll be presented with some tabs, click into the Display tab

 

From here we have access to all the display settings, it is usually best to use “Default for this display” for the resolution

If you have multiple monitors and want your remote connection to cover all your monitors you’ll want to check the “Use all monitors”

If you want it to start fullscreen tick the “Start session in fullscreen”

 

Optimize for Retina displays is a mac specific setting, if you have a macbook or an iMac you can tick this setting for your display

 

Device Redirection

 

If you need to setup device redirection for a printer or speakers, you’ll want to click the “Devices & Audio” tab, you’ll be presented with a bunch of boxes to tick keep in mind the server needs to support redirection for these devices. If you are unsure if it’s supported, you can give us a call or send an email to support@cloudcollective.com and we’ll be able to tell you.

 

Keep in mind if you are going to be using a webcam and microphone for a meeting, you’ll want to do that locally, connecting to remote adds another jump into the connection and will cause you to have a drop in call quality

 

If you’re going to need sound from your remote, you’ll want select on this computer from the “Play sound” drop down
