We have heard feedback to allow this within a single host pool, but there are multiple things we would need to iron out through the service and the clients to ensure a seamless experience if you transition between the two experiences.
Is there any news about this?
We're planning to migrate an application actually using RDS to WVD and the users are actually using a remoteapp OR the desktop depending on the need. We cannot use different pools because of the application design.
I can "force" them to use always the desktop but it would be more elegant to permit both accesses to a single user.
Are there plans to permit both accesses?
Thank you

Checking if there is any update on this.
