VirtViewer 11.0

Virt Viewer (virt-viewer) is a lightweight desktop application for opening and interacting with the graphical console of virtual machines. Developed by the virt-manager.org project, it connects to guests managed by libvirt (such as KVM/QEMU) and to standalone SPICE or VNC servers. It’s ideal for tasks like operating system installation, troubleshooting, and day-to-day console access without the overhead of a full management suite.

Key points:

• Components: The package provides two front ends—virt-viewer, which can browse and open consoles for libvirt-managed VMs, and remote-viewer, which connects directly to SPICE or VNC URIs.
• Protocols: Supports SPICE (preferred for best experience) and VNC.
• Features: Full-screen and multi-monitor support (with SPICE), dynamic resolution, clipboard integration, audio playback, and optional USB device redirection when supported by the guest and server.
• Security: Supports secure connections (for example, TLS and SASL) and can be used over SSH tunnels where appropriate.
• Integrations: Works well with libvirt-based environments and console links from platforms such as oVirt/RHV and similar virtualization stacks.
• Platforms: Available primarily for Linux; Windows builds are also provided.
• Licensing: Open source, released under the GNU GPL (v2 or later).
• Scope: Virt Viewer focuses on console display and interaction; use other tools (such as virt-manager or platform-specific management consoles) to create and configure virtual machines.
