VNC.com community

RealVNC released RealVNC Connect 8.5.0 in August 2026, according to its release notes. They list six new features, six fixes and one security change. Highlights:

  • A refreshed homepage layout that guides users to the next step, whether they are connecting out to a device or accepting connections from others (one-time or unattended).
  • One-time access codes no longer depend on unattended access being enabled, and the codes refresh on a 2-minute cycle, so there is no need to switch them back on by hand when one expires.
  • On Windows, the screen-blanking overlay can show a custom image, plus who is connecting and their IP or cloud address.
  • New audit events include file transfers, session recordings, and the start and end of chats.
  • The release notes say: "Improved authentication security when connecting to ARD devices."
