| 12 | +# Customize feed for Windows Virtual Desktop users |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +You can customize the feed so the RemoteApp and remote desktop resources appear in a recognizable way for your users. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +First, [download and import the Windows Virtual Desktop PowerShell module](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/windows-virtual-desktop/overview) to use in your PowerShell session if you haven't already. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Customize the display name for a RemoteApp |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +You can change the display name for a published RemoteApp by setting the friendly name. By default, the friendly name is the same as the name of the RemoteApp program. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +To retrieve a list of published RemoteApps for an app group, run the following PowerShell cmdlet: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```powershell |
| 25 | +Get-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName <tenantname> -HostPoolName <hostpoolname> -AppGroupName <appgroupname> |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +To assign a friendly name to a RemoteApp, run the following PowerShell cmdlet: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```powershell |
| 32 | +Set-RdsRemoteApp -TenantName <tenantname> -HostPoolName <hostpoolname> -AppGroupName <appgroupname> -Name <existingappname> -FriendlyName <newfriendlyname> |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Customize the display name for a Remote Desktop |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +You can change the display name for a published remote desktop by setting a friendly name. If you manually created a host pool and desktop app group through PowerShell, the default friendly name is "Session Desktop." If you created a host pool and desktop app group through the GitHub Azure Resource Manager template or the Azure Marketplace offering, the default friendly name is the same as the host pool name. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +To retrieve the remote desktop resource, run the following PowerShell cmdlet: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```powershell |
| 43 | +Get-RdsRemoteDesktop -TenantName <tenantname> -HostPoolName <hostpoolname> -AppGroupName <appgroupname> |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +To assign a friendly name to the remote desktop resource, run the following PowerShell cmdlet: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +```powershell |
| 50 | +Set-RdsRemoteDesktop -TenantName <tenantname> -HostPoolName <hostpoolname> -AppGroupName <appgroupname> -FriendlyName <newfriendlyname> |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Next steps |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Now that you've customized the feed for users, you can sign in to a Windows Virtual Desktop client to test it out. To do so, continue to the Connect to Windows Virtual Desktop How-tos: |
