Fluid Remote Desktop is a new way to connect to your computers. Brand new installations of Jump Desktop Connect enable Fluid by default. If you're an existing user upgrading from an earlier version of Jump Desktop Connect, you'll need to enable Fluid manually on your Windows or Mac computer. Follow these steps:
- Open up the Jump Desktop Connect app on your Windows or Mac computer and then click the settings icon on the top right.
- Click the Diagnostics row and make sure you're running version 5.0 or later. If you're on an earlier version (i.e 4.x) upgrade to the latest version from here: https://jumpdesktop.com/go
- Click the Advanced row and make sure Fluid Remote Desktop is checked
Once you've enabled Fluid, you should see a new light blue icon for your computer on all your devices. Here's what it looks like:
Tap / click to connect. You will be asked for Windows Credentials or Mac Credentials when you try to connect - so please make sure the user account on your computer has a password assigned to it. In the future we'll add other ways to authenticate with Fluid.

Is there any plan or option to change resolution on Fluid? It's definitely faster, more optimized, but having static resolutions makes it less useful. Perhaps, reset resolution on resize and fullscreen?
Hi Alex,
Yes! We're planning on adding automatic resolution switching to our upcoming Fluid 2.0 release.
That's exciting! Any idea on timeframe?
Kudos for making fluid actually perform better than citrix
Any chance that this documentation will be updated for the latest version of jump desktop?
Where can I find these settings in my Jump Desktop 8.2.17 for Mac?
Do I need to install/run software on the Remote Windows Server 2016 to run Fluid?
What about machines which do not have an internet access (because of security reason for example)? Is there a way to connect directly to the machine and establish a connection from Jump Desktop?
