We’re pleased to introduce a major update for Jump Desktop! After a year of extensive beta testing across four major releases, we’re rolling out powerful new features and enhancements designed to improve your remote desktop experience.
Here’s what’s new:
Fluid 2.0: Next-Level Performance & Visuals
Superior Compression & Color Fidelity:
Fluid 2.0 improves compression and color fidelity, delivering sharper visuals while using less bandwidth, making remote work and high-performance applications smoother and more efficient.
- Provides up to 50% better visuals with significantly lower bandwidth use, allowing better performance and latency regardless of your connection.
- Introduces 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 10-bit color support. This improves text and image clarity, making it ideal for users working with text, graphic design, or any task that requires sharp visuals.
- 4:4:4 color is available for everyone. 10-bit color is exclusive to Teams Enterprise customers, offering enhanced color depth with access to over a billion colors.
- Start using it now: To enable 4:4:4 color, connect to a computer and navigate to Remote > Color Quality > High. You’ll notice a difference immediately!
Surround Sound & Dynamic Audio:
- 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound is now supported for Teams Enterprise users, with up to 8-channel audio, creating a more immersive experience for media professionals and high-fidelity audio users.
- Dynamic audio input switching lets users change audio sources without disconnecting—useful when switching between headphones, speakers, or different microphones. To switch devices, connect to a computer and go to Remote > Audio > Receive Audio and select the host’s audio device.
Networking & Security:
- The improved networking stack includes better bandwidth estimation, forward error correction, and faster recovery from transient network issues.
- This results in fewer connection disruptions, smoother performance on unstable networks, and reduced lag across different network conditions.
Web-Based Remote Desktop Client:
- Connect directly from any web browser without installing a native client. This means you can connect from a phone, TV, VR headsets like the Meta Quest or Apple Vision Pro. Any device with a web browser works! The client is optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers.
- The Android mobile experience was a key focus in development. We optimized usability with features like multiple gestures and transparent overlaid keypads.
- To make collaboration and remote support easier, you can now start screen-sharing sessions directly from a web browser without additional downloads.
- We’re constantly improving this experience!
