We’ve rolled out updates to improve browser connections and team management faster and more organized.

Web-Based Remote Desktop Client

• Improved browser performance
  Browser connections are now more responsive and consistent, delivering effortless interaction and faster updates so remote work feels natural even on limited bandwidth.
• Virtual monitor support
  You can now create a virtual display in the browser. This means you’re no longer limited by the physical hardware of the remote computer — for example, you can run a 4K session even if the remote machine doesn’t have a 4K monitor connected.
• Clipboard support
  Clipboard support is available in browser connections — and it’s optimized for speed and reliability so you can copy & paste between local and remote apps seamlessly.
• Framerate & bandwidth controls
  You can now choose from preset framerate and bandwidth options when using Jump Desktop in the browser, giving more flexibility to match performance to your network and workload.

Dashboard Enhancements

• Bulk actions & right-click menus (Team Computers / Team Users / Team Access Groups)
  Select multiple rows or right-click to add/remove users and access groups, and change access in a streamlined tabbed dialog — making it much faster to manage teams and update permissions at scale.
• Custom fields & tags (Learn More)
  Add custom columns in the Team Computers table to track details that matter to your team (e.g., asset ID, location, owner). Tags are now visible in both Team Computers and Team Users lists, making it easier to organize and filter resources.

• Tabbed views for access management
  Adding or removing access in Team Computers, Team Users, or Team Access Groups now uses a cleaner tabbed interface, making permission changes easier to follow.

• My Computers page (web client)
  The My Computers page now shows all machines you have access to with team names and tags at a glance — and you can connect instantly from your browser with a single click.

Security Updates

• SCIM user reactivation (improved)
  For SCIM-managed teams: when a user is removed in your SSO provider, their Jump Desktop account is disabled; if they’re re-added and your team has “Reactivate Users” enabled (Dashboard → Team → Security), their Jump Desktop account will automatically reactivate — keeping everything in sync with your identity provider.

• Attributed installer (optional) Learn More
  A new installer option gives admins more visibility on who added a machine to the team. When used, the installing user must sign in to their Jump Desktop account, and their identity is recorded in activity logs so admins can see exactly who added each machine. (Regular installers still work without signing in.)

Jump Desktop Mac 9.1.9 is a bug fix release. It addresses the following issues:

• Fixes an issue that could cause video stuttering when using your local microphone during remote sessions.

We’re excited to roll out Fluid 2.0 Beta 2, a major update that takes remote desktop to the next level with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 10-bit color support. This release is all about delivering incredible color accuracy and detail, giving you a truly crisp, studio-quality experience right on your remote desktop.

What 4:4:4 Color Means for You

Traditionally, remote desktop apps have relied on 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling to cut down on bandwidth. While that’s efficient, it also means sacrificing some detail, particularly in areas with sharp edges or fine text. 

With 4:4:4 color support in Fluid 2.0 Beta 2, that’s no longer an issue. Every pixel now carries full color information.Artistic applications display with stunning precision, and even text and UI elements look sharper and more defined. Whether you’re working on detailed design projects or just want your desktop to look as good as it would in person, this is a big upgrade. This improvement isn’t just for creatives—productivity apps like word processors and spreadsheets also benefit, with text appearing noticeably crisper and easier to read.

Moving from Millions to over a Billion Colors

Most displays use 8-bit color, which gives you 16.7 million colors to work with. That sounds like a lot until you need subtle color transitions or want to eliminate banding in gradients.

With Fluid 2.0 Beta 2, we’re stepping up to 10-bit color, which expands the color palette to over a billion colors. This leap ensures that even the most nuanced shades are rendered with incredible precision. Whether you’re in video production, graphic design, or any field that demands top-notch visual quality, this is the level of color depth you need to get your work done right.

Why 4:4:4 and 10-Bit Color Together Are a Game-Changer

Pairing full-color resolution (4:4:4) with a billion-color palette (10-bit per channel) in Fluid 2.0 Beta 2 gives you the ultimate high-fidelity remote desktop experience. This combination ensures that every pixel is vibrant and accurate, capturing even the smallest details and subtlest color variations. For anyone working with high-end visuals, whether it’s video editing, graphic design, or just enjoying a more polished remote desktop, this update is a must-have.

Flexibility at Your Fingertips

One of the coolest features of Fluid 2.0 Beta 2 is the ability to switch between all color modes on the fly while connected. Whether you need the high efficiency of 4:2:0 for certain tasks or want to take full advantage of 4:4:4 with 10-bit color, you can do it all without disconnecting: To switch colors while connected to a machine click Remote -> Color.

Important Notes:

1. High color quality (4:4:4 at 8-bit) is available for everyone!
2. Pro (4:2:0 10-bit) and Ultra (4:4:4 10-bit) modes are currently available for Jump Desktop for Teams Enterprise customers.
3. At the moment, 10-bit color support is limited to connections TO Mac hosts. For Windows hosts, we’re shipping 4:4:4 in the beta today but we're working hard to enable 10bit color - stay tuned!
