Cloud Virtual Devices
Genymotion Desktop presents cloud devices as part of Cloud Virtual Devices.
You do not need a paid Genymotion Desktop license to use this feature.
You can view and access your Genymotion SaaS Cloud instances from Genymotion launcher.
In the Devices section, navigate to the CLOUD tab.
This tab lists your Genymotion SaaS devices.
Devices that are not running can be started.
Running devices can be viewed and stopped.
If you are not connected to Genymotion SaaS yet, you will be prompted to log in or create an account before interacting with devices.
Refer to the Genymotion SaaS quickstart guide if you need to create an account.
Click REFRESH to refresh the list of devices.
For Genymotion SaaS users
The Cloud tab in Genymotion Desktop presents SaaS recipes and instances together as devices.
Recipes appear as stopped devices.
Running instances appear as online devices.

Create a new recipe in the Genymotion SaaS dashboard.
The SaaS recipe is the SaaS equivalent of a device.

Simply double-click, click, or > "Start instance" next to the device you wish to start.

Once your device is online, click the display icon to open its display in Genymotion Desktop.
