| 13 | +# About VM connections and features |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The sections in this article show you various features and settings that are available when you connect to a VM using Azure Bastion. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## <a name="connect"></a>Connect to a VM |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +You can use a variety of different methods to connect to a target VM. Some connection types require Bastion to be configured with the Standard SKU. Use the following articles to connect. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +[!INCLUDE [Connect articles list](../../includes/bastion-vm-connect-article-list.md)] |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## <a name="copy-paste"></a>Copy and paste |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +For browsers that support the advanced Clipboard API access, you can copy and paste text between your local device and the remote session in the same way you copy and paste between applications on your local device. For other browsers, you can use the Bastion clipboard access tool palette. Only text copy/paste is supported. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +For steps and more information, see [Copy and paste - Windows VMs](bastion-vm-copy-paste.md). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## <a name="full-screen"></a>Full screen view |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +You can change to full screen view and back using your browser. For steps and more information, see [Change to full screen view](bastion-vm-full-screen.md). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## <a name="upload-download"></a>Upload or download files |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Azure Bastion offers support for file transfer between your target VM and local computer using Bastion and a native RDP or native SSH client. It may also be possible to use certain third-party clients and tools to upload and download files. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +For steps and more information, see [Upload or download files to a VM using a native client](vm-upload-download-native.md). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## <a name="audio"></a>Remote audio |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +You can enable remote audio output for your VM. Some VMs automatically enable this setting, others require you to enable audio settings manually. The settings are changed on the VM itself. Your Bastion deployment doesn't need any special configuration settings to enable remote audio output. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +For steps, see the [Deploy Bastion](tutorial-create-host-portal.md#audio) tutorial. |
