Can i access my USB devices from Windows Virtual Desktop?
Hi Hau_Le ,
You still can manipulate these settings, using the Set-RdsHostPool cmdlet with the -CustomRdpProperty parameter.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/customize-rdp-properties
If you look at the supported settings, you will find the drivestoredirect setting, controlling the drive mappings. If you set this CustomRdpProperty to drivestoredirect:s:*, all new devices should be available as well

I did the test with a USB Drive and a USB Keyboard, both became available during an active session.
MicrosoftHau_Le - yes you can. It's supported through the standard RDP connection. You'll need to enable the function if you haven't already.
Chris Jones - thanks for reply, but i wanna use usb remote in WVD client and Remote Desktop Connection probably not supported.

Hi michawets ,
Thank you for your reply,
I tried to use the CustomRdpProperty with drivestoredirect setting and it was detect C, D drives in my desktop.
But, i'm expecting that WVD can detect some USB device like Phone or peripheral but it don't. I try to find RDP setting parameter to redirect USB device but i don't have any result.
