What are RDP plugins? Build your own dynamic virtual channel (DVC) plugin using Microsoft’s new sample repo Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) has supported extensibility through virtual channels for decades, but the modern approach—dynamic virtual channels (DVCs)—is what you need today, especially in cloud environments like Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. This article explains what DVCs are, how they differ from the older static model, how a plugin is structured and registered, and how to get started with Microsoft's newly released sample repository.
