Windows 365 Cloud Apps Offer App Only Streaming in Private Preview

Microsoft is rolling out a private preview of Windows 365 Cloud Apps, a feature that allows IT teams to stream individual Windows applications to users without provisioning full Cloud PCs for everyone. This functionality is available for organizations using Windows 365 Frontline licenses in shared mode, delivered through Microsoft Intune via a new "app‑only" provisioning policy.

Administrators can create shared Cloud PCs and publish specific apps, allowing multiple users to stream the same desktop‐hosted application -- though only one user at a time per license. IT teams benefit from centralized security controls, simplified VDI‑to‑cloud transitions, and streamlined app delivery for seasonal or frontline workers.

For those who want to participate, in the private preview, contact your Microsoft account team to apply.
