The Active Virtual Machine
Before the introduction of teams, the active virtual machine was obvious, because the console displayed only one virtual machine per console tab. Since the team console displays many virtual machines in a row of thumbnails, Workstation introduces the concept of the active virtual machine.
When you display a team in the console, Workstation menus and commands can act directly on only the virtual machine appearing in the lower pane of the console. This is the active virtual machine. This is the virtual machine you can interact with.
Changing the Active Virtual Machine
Clicking on a virtual machine in the row of thumbnails makes that virtual machine the active virtual machine, appearing in the lower pane of the console.
Using Full Screen with Teams
In full screen mode, Workstation displays only the active virtual machine. See Using Full Screen Switch Mode for more information.
