# Workspot Mac Client Release 8.1.0

## Highlights

- Feature release.
- Released on August 22, 2026.
- Support for the [media redirection feature](/v1/docs/workspot-media-extension) of the [Workspot Enterprise Browser](/v1/docs/the-workspot-browser), allowing URLs opened on the Workspot desktop to open locally in the Workspot Enterprise Browser.
- Support for using direct [OneDrive access](/v1/docs/control-security-policies#enterprise-browser-downloads) for the Enterprise Browser's Downloads directory instead of the local device.
- Support for [Entra ID SSO](/v1/docs/rds-aad-authenticaion), password-free authentication (Platform SSO), and Entra ID desktop authentication using RDSAADAuth.
- If a user signs in and has no desktop or application entitlements (that is, their Client dashboard is empty), this is now reported to Control and Watch.
- Support for [French (AZERTY) Mac keyboards](/v1/docs/keyboard-layout-installation) with Ubuntu Linux remote desktops.
- Support for the upcoming authentication proxy feature.
- On the Client dashboard, application names now wrap to two lines if they are longer than 32 characters instead of being truncated.

## OS/Hardware Support:

- Supported on macOS Tahoe 26.5 and macOS 15 Sequoia.
- Native support for systems with M-series processors.

## Download and Installation

When released, will be available in the [Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/workspot/id978894159).

> **Note:** If the Apple Store reports that the Workspot Mac Client is not in your country, contact Workspot.

### Beta Installation

Beta releases, when available, are handled through Apple’s [TestFlight](https://testflight.apple.com/) program. We provide a link for each Beta release. Clicking this link on your Mac device takes you to a Web page that invites you to install Apple’s TestFlight app if you haven’t already, and to join the Beta program for the individual Beta release. See [Installing Beta Releases of the Workspot Mac Client](https://docs.workspot.com/v1/docs/installing-beta-releases-of-the-workspot-mac-client).

## Known Issues

- The Mac Client supports a maximum of two monitors. With three monitors, the third monitor will mirror a portion of one of the other monitors. *Workarounds:* Select one of the "Do not use" monitor options ("Do not use leftmost monitor," etc.), Deselect "Use multiple monitors," or ignore the mirrored content on the third monitor.
- On Apple M1 machines only, when Chrome is used as the default browser, a bug in Chrome prevents the user from signing out on the first attempt via the "Workspot > Identity Provider Logout" command (used with third-party identity providers such as Okta). *Workaround:* Perform the operation twice. The second attempt will succeed.
- Audio may show echo and loss of synchronization to video. *Workaround:* In the Preferences menu, set audio quality to "High."
- If you maximize and then restore a Workspot desktop window in a session using the obsolete “RDP security” option (that is, not using SSL), the connection closes with error code 70034. **Note:** RDP security is not recommended and is not supported over Workspot RD Gateways.
