WebStream delivers Windows applications and desktop-style workspaces to any HTML5 browser. No Java, no plug-ins, no client installs — just a URL, your identity provider, and infrastructure you already control.
WebStream is built around per-application delivery — the app in a browser tab, governed by policy. When a full desktop environment is genuinely required, workspace mode delivers that too, from the same control plane.
From nothing to a working browser session — most teams complete this in hours, not weeks.
Deploy WebStream on your own AWS EC2 instances or install on-premises via MSI. Your Windows hosts, your data, your account — no proprietary appliance.
Per-application delivery for focused access, or workspace mode when users need a desktop-style environment. Mix both from one control plane.
Add your existing Windows applications to the App Collection — line-of-business systems, productivity tools, internal utilities. No code changes.
Integrate SSO and MFA with your identity provider, then assign entitlements so each user sees exactly the apps and workspaces they should.
Users open a URL in Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox and work. No Java, no Flash, no plug-ins, nothing to install or version-manage on endpoints.
Apply policy to file transfer, clipboard, and print/PDF; audit every session; enable recording where compliance requires it.
The benefits of virtual desktops — without standing up a desktop estate or signing up for per-seat DaaS.
Office, home, or on the road — apps and workspaces are a browser tab away on any device, with no VPN client in the path.
PC, Mac, tablet, or thin client — anything with an HTML5 browser works, so endpoint refresh cycles stop dictating access.
Identity-gated access through your existing identity provider, with entitlements controlling who can reach what.
Manage apps, workspaces, users, policies, and entitlements from a single console — plus AI-assisted operations via the MCP Server.
File upload/download, clipboard, and print/PDF behaviour governed per policy — control data movement without breaking workflows.
A full audit trail around every session, with session recording available where compliance and accountability demand it.
How WebStream compares with client-based VDI and hosted desktop services.
| Capability | WebStream | Traditional VDI | Hosted DaaS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endpoint requirement | Any HTML5 browser | Client / agent install | Client or browser, vendor-dependent |
| What users receive | Specific app, or workspace when needed | Full desktop | Full desktop |
| Infrastructure | Your AWS EC2 or on-premises servers | Your desktop estate + broker stack | Vendor-hosted |
| Billing basis | SessionHours (active use), BYOL | Licences + estate cost | Per desktop / per user month |
| Data movement policy | File / clipboard / print by policy | Varies | Varies |
| Time to first session | Hours | Weeks | Days |
Deciding between an app and a desktop? Read deliver the application, not the whole desktop, or model costs with the pricing calculator.
The scenarios that used to mean a VDI project — now a browser tab.
Consistent, secure access to Windows apps from home or office without shipping managed laptops or VPN tokens.
Forms-based, database-driven systems delivered to modern devices without rewriting a line of code.
Scoped, audited access to exactly one application — no desktop, no network foothold, no endpoint requirements.
SessionHours billing suits rotating teams and shared devices — pay for active use, not provisioned seats.
Personal devices become safe access points because the app never leaves your infrastructure — only pixels reach the endpoint.
When users genuinely need a desktop environment, workspace mode delivers persistent, governed workspaces in the browser.

Any modern HTML5-capable browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox — on PC, Mac, tablet, or thin client. No Java, no Flash, no plug-ins, and no client software to install.
Both are available. WebStream is built around per-application delivery — users launch the specific app they are entitled to — and workspace mode provides a desktop-style environment when a full desktop is genuinely required.
WebStream runs on Windows you control: your own AWS EC2 instances or on-premises servers installed via MSI. There is no proprietary appliance and no requirement to move to a hosted desktop service.
Access is identity-gated. WebStream integrates with your identity provider for SSO and MFA, and every session is tied to a user with entitlements controlling exactly which applications and workspaces they can reach.
Paid tiers bill SessionHours — active streaming time — rather than per named user or per provisioned desktop. Idle time costs nothing, and WebStream Core is free for evaluation.
Start free with WebStream Core — deploy on-premises (MSI) or on AWS. Most teams have a working browser session within hours.
