Enabling watermarking
Watermarking is a feature in AVD that places a watermark on the Desktop session.
This assists in preventing sensitive information from being captured on the client endpoints as a watermark appears as a QR code on the screen.
The QR code contains the connection ID of the remote session that admins can use to trace session details:
