The Horizon User Web Portal for Horizon Cloud Service - next-gen, also known as the Horizon portal, serves as the initial point of entry for client users to access their Horizon Cloud Service - next-gen desktop and application resources.

To launch the Horizon portal, use a web browser on the client device to visit this address: https://cloud.vmwarehorizon.com/


The Horizon portal provides selection tiles for installing the native Horizon Client application or launching the resource with HTML Access.

By default, the Horizon portal provides two selection tiles.

  • Install Horizon Native Client allows users to download and install the native Horizon Client for their client device. They can then use Horizon Client to launch a desktop or application resource.
  • Browser allows users to launch a desktop or application using HTML Access, also known as the web client.
