How to Customise a User or Organisation Avatar on Remote Desktop

For any business, it’s really important to keep your branding consistent at all points of contact between the company and its customers, and being able to customise these contact points is a key part of any long-term branding strategy. That’s why Jotelulu offers its partners a wide range of white-label features so that you can completely customise the platform and the access portal.

In this tutorial, we’ll explain how you can customise user and organisation avatars on a Remote Desktop environment.
