Use Unity View to Display Guest Applications Directly on a Mac Desktop

To work with your virtual machine applications from the Mac desktop without the Fusion interface, use Unity view.

In Unity view, your virtual machine's window is hidden and VMware Unity appears in the Mac Dock. When you open virtual machine applications, those applications also appear in the Mac Dock. You can use the virtual machine applications just as you use your native Mac applications.

Note: Unity Mode is deprecated in VMware Fusion 13.6 and later.
