RDP info
Participants must have a remote desktop client installed on their PC/notebook.

• Under Windows, the official Microsoft client is usually already installed
• macOS users can download the official Microsoft client from the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466

Important: For security reasons, companies often block a remote desktop connection on business devices and in the company network. It is recommended to participate in the training on a private device and not on the company network. Alternatively, you can clarify in advance with the responsible IT department whether remote desktop connections are possible.
