# Virtual Desktop

The virtual desktop is the player-facing interface wherein the exercise takes place. It is designed to look and feel like a familiar digital workspace, immersing players in a crisis scenario as if it were taking place in real time.

All injects, channels, and persona interactions are delivered here, creating a **safe but realistic training environment**.

Players (i.e. the training audience) can interact with your exercise via any device with a web browser. After log in they'll see the virtual desktop.

Note that **all the channels are configurable by the designer**. They design which channels to use, how they should be named and what icon should represent them and more.
{% endhint %}

### Multi-channel exercise

In the virtual desktop, you'll be working in a multi-channel exercise meaning that **communications will  come at you via various applications** as it does in real life.

Every time you see a **red flashing dot** that means you have a notification, indicating new information to check in a channel.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that the icons you see might be different from those shown above because the designer of the exercise is able to **customise and configure the interface**. Even if the icons and images are different, it will work the same way as described in these articles.
