Hi Support,

What is the difference between Azure Virtual Desktop vs Azure Virtual Machine?
Thanks.

Azure Virtual Desktop also uses virtual machines in Azure. Depending on the Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, a Windows 10/11 multisession image is used. In an Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure, we speak of sessionhosts which is nothing more than a virtual machine. Does this help? Greetings.

Is it possible to add the Azure Virtual Machines to Host Pool so that Start on Connect functionality can be used?
Thanks.
