How do I signup for the iOS beta of the Windows Virtual Desktop client?

I can find lots of instructions on how to set it up but none tell you how to sign up for the beta.

briantaintor the trick is to open the page on an iOS device to see the invitation link. This is what I was missing. I was looking for it on a Mac.

One other thing I am missing, what is the feed URL I should be using for Windows Virtual Desktop.
I am adding my account to the app but nothing happens. It looks like I need to enter a feed url.
Can you confirm what this might be?

Paul Shadwell the full feed url is https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/api/feeddiscovery/webfeeddiscovery.aspx

There are options to setup email discovery for a user-specific or group-wide email address. Additionally, feed autocomplete for the iOS client will be functional in the near future, meaning you won't have to enter this full url.

I just used https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com for the iOS client feed.

I also tried email discovery but it failed. Same email did work for discovery on my Windows client.

  Confirmed, feed discovery works with the URL https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com on iOS.
  After setting up the email discovery in our DNS I can also confirm that this is not currently working.
  It would be great/useful to be able to distribute the Remote desktop client to iOS devices via MDM and include the URL in the settings.
