Jul 24, 2020Currently Windows desktop client does not support this. You can try with our Windows Store Remote Desktop Client. When you start a connection, you will have the option to choose what account to use for the connection.

Soo Kuan Teo, Hello thank you for your response. I am having difficulty in establishing what the RemoteApp server address is for the WVD RemoteApp resources? I've tried inputting the one from the WVD Client however it doesn't seem to work.

if you use the Windows Store Remote Desktop Client, click on the "+Add", select "workspace", then provide the WVD Url:
Windows Virtual Desktop (classic): https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/feeddiscovery/webfeeddiscovery.aspx
Windows Virtual Desktop: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery- James_Randall_1978Jul 30, 2020Copper Contributor
Hello,
Thank you for your response, while I can use the new version of the RDP client to add resources that are tied to a different email/account from the main Windows account, when a connection to those resources is established I find the main Windows account user is used for that connection. Ideally the specified email.account being used to find the resource feed should then also follow through and be utilised for the connection, particulalry as at that point 2FA has already been used to verify the user to generate the resources available.
So to sum up, the account used to login to the workspace is not the account used to login to the server. When one would think it really should be, I'll admit it's an unusual case, but an important one none the less as currently it could be considered misleading.
I did try the MS Store Remote Desktop app, this refuses to display any resources and as such I cannot proceed any further with it. The WVD Remote Desktop client does seem to be the way to go, I was hopeful when the new update was released that it would perform as I need it to, sadly not quite.

Sorry I'm not fully understand your scenario, say 3 accounts:
UserA, AccountB, AccountC.
1-UserA logon to windows machine
2-Then UserA uses AccountB to subscribe to WVD ( https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/arm/feeddiscovery).
3-the resources(feeds) show up on the WVD clients
4-UserA wants to use AccountC to connect to these WVD resources?
