Sign in with your credentials: Users can sign in to the AppStream 2.0 environment using their AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) credentials or the credentials provided by your identity provider (if you have configured one).

Access applications: Once signed in, users will be able to access and stream their applications directly in the web browser, without the need for a separate client application.
