How to change the virtual desktop and keyboard language? How to change keyboard language?
Press Shift+Alt or Shift+Ctrl (For MacOS press Shift+Option)

How to change interface language?
Most often the incorrect interface language is loaded with the first launch, as by default the virtual desktop opens with the language you used to sign in to your Member Account
Clicking «Open virtual desktop» button downloads RDP file with your Member Account language settings because it is associated with your virtual desktop language.
If you want to change your virtual desktop language, exit your workspace, sign in to your Member account, change the language and click «Open virtual desktop» to download a new RDP file. Open a new virtual desktop following the downloaded shortcut.
If you use the individual virtual machine with PRO option, the Owner or Administrator can change the virtual machine language to any available in Windows OS.

What if the language in Word/Excel does not change?
Sometimes to install another language you need to fix the settings, if you cannot change the language, contact us via any messenger. It will take a few minutes, we just need to restart the server, and you can resume your session.

Why do all I see is a black screen?
Try pressing 3 keys: Ctrl + alt + end and select "Exit" from the drop-down menu. If this does not help, then contact our support.

Why did virtual desktop shut down unexpectedly?
The virtual machine may have been turned off by one of the users with Owner or Administrator status. Please contact us for reasons and support.

Why is the virtual desktop slowing down?
There can be many reasons for virtual desktop slowing down:
1) Poor internet connection. Check the connection speed and try to reset the router and reconnect to internet again.
2) Sometimes slowing down can be caused by the incorrect exit from the virtual desktop. Please read further how to exit the virtual workspace desktop.
3) Virtual machine overload. To solve this you should add resources in "Subscriptions and Calculator" section of the Member account. If you doubt the amount of resources you need, please contact our support.
4) Data center itself slowing down, sometimes the main channels of the Internet suffer from "traffic jams" at rush hour. It depends on the local internet providers and their channels, you should wait a little while and the connection speed will be restored.
5) The operation speed in different packages may vary greatly, when switching from PRO to Standard option you may notice that the virtual desktop slows down a little.
6) ) If you cannot handle the situation yourself, please contact our support.

How to close virtual desktop correctly?
To exit the virtual workspace close the remote desktop window at the top panel.
This will not end the current session, but will switch to off mode and wait for the next user logon, that is all open documents and software will not be closed until the virtual desktop is rebooted, or session is ended automatically or by the administrator.
This may be convenient if you decide to continue your work later without closing the application on the virtual desktop. In this case, the server resources where your virtual desktop is allocated will be used by software running. Due to insufficient server performance or network failures, a disconnected session may hang up. It looks like a black screen when you sign in to virtual desktop.
To avoid such problems and to free up server resources we recommend to exit from the virtual desktop session every time. To complete the session, check whether all open documents have been saved, then click START button → User Icon → Exit.
Forcible user logout can be configured automatically when the user is idle for a certain time period, contact technical support to make necessary settings.
If you have a problem with a hung up session during the working day (black screen), you can try to exit your session by clicking CTRL + ALT + END and selecting Exit.
If the menu does not appear when the keys are pressed, contact technical support to force the session logoff. Automatic termination of inactive sessions will also help to prevent them from hanging up

• If the user is already registered, he will receive a notification in his Member Account. This employee needs to accept or decline the invitation to join the Owner's team.

Statuses of connecting users to the Owner's team ("Invitations" tab in "Team users" section):

• Request sent or "not in the team"- A request to join has been sent to the user, and no response has been received yet.
• Request rejected - The user rejected the request to join the Owner's team.
