Enhancing AnyDesk: User Preferences for Hostnames Over NETBIOS Names in Address Lists

In today’s digital landscape, the clear identification of devices is essential for enhancing communication efficiency and networking capabilities. Recently, we have received feedback from our users expressing a preference for viewing hostnames rather than NETBIOS names in the AnyDesk address list.

One user highlighted the desire to see names formatted like “abcde-fghijkl-mycomputer-laptop” instead of the shorter NETBIOS names such as “abcde-fghijkl-m.” We understand that hostnames provide a more intuitive reference, especially in environments where multiple devices are managed simultaneously.

We appreciate this constructive feedback and want to assure you that we take it seriously. At AnyDesk, our priority is to deliver a smooth and tailored experience that meets the needs of our users.

Continuous improvements have been made to our platform, and we remain open to considering future updates that would allow users to further customize their experience, including the option to display hostnames. While the current default view relies on NETBIOS names, the significance of such suggestions will help steer our future development efforts.

Lastly, we invite all our users to continue sharing their ideas and suggestions. Your active participation is invaluable in helping us improve and evolve according to market demands. Thank you for your ongoing support of AnyDesk.
