Add guest user to Windows Virtual Desktop app pool
- Jun 12, 2019
ghonyme : Yes, unfortunately we do not support guest users yet in Windows Virtual Desktops. Users must be sourced from the Azure AD that you specify for your Windows Virtual Desktop tenant.
Microsoft recently announced this:
New pricing options for remote app streaming
Many organizations are using Azure Virtual Desktop to stream apps to their own employees who are covered by existing license entitlements. But many organizations also want to use Azure Virtual Desktop to deliver applications “as-a-service” to customers and business partners as well.
Today we are pleased to announce a monthly per-user access pricing option for organizations to use Azure Virtual Desktop to deliver apps from the cloud to external users. For example, this would enable software vendors to deliver their app as a SaaS solution that can be accessed by their customers. In addition to the monthly user price for Azure Virtual Desktop, organizations also pay for Azure infrastructure services based on usage.

Anybody has recent information / solved the issue? There is little meaning offering e.g. AVD RAIL applications if we cannot onboard external users to it.
Any update / idea appreciated.
Best, Henri
