  • A native application so your tabs will not be mixed with your other browser tabs
  • Improved keyboard shortcut handling (for example, Windows button)
  • The ability to run multiple sessions at the same time in a single instance of the console
  • Auto-update
Restriction: The Session Transfer feature is not available in the Agent Desktop Console.
