Citrix is an application and desktop virtualization platform that enables FVTC to present and share software with students from anywhere in the world with an internet connection on any device running Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, or Android. This allows students and staff to use a "Virtual Lab" computer that has access to FVTC software and network resources.

Citrix is available everyday and is never shut off unless we need to make an update that takes the service down. 

Citrix may not be available during the following times: 

• Wednesday mornings from 4:00 AM - 7:00 AM
• Sunday mornings from 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM

During the times above, we may disable the service to perform updates. Please plan accordingly.

For the ideal experience, we suggest Google Chrome when using the locally installed Citrix Workspace or Workspace for HTML5 on Windows 10. We also suggest using Safari when using a Mac. Below you will see a list of supported browsers.

A virtual application and virtual desktop have a few differences. When you click a Virtual Application...you are only shown the application. When you use a virtual desktop you are presented with a fully functional windows computer FVTC owned software. Both Virtual Applications and Desktops have access to the S drive.

With your desktop in windowed mode drag the window so that it spans the split between the monitors that you want it to use. Once it is visible on both screens, when you press the button for fullscreen in the toolbar it will use all of the monitors that it is on. You may have to stretch it if you wish to use more than 2 monitors. For it to work properly, all screens must be the same resolution and orientation (portrait or landscape, not a combination).
