Parallels Desktop offers several viewing modes to enhance the user experience when working with virtual machines. Here are five of those viewing modes:
-
Coherence Mode: This mode allows Windows applications to run seamlessly alongside macOS applications. The Windows desktop is hidden, and you can interact with Windows apps as if they are native macOS applications.
-
Full Screen Mode: In this mode, the virtual machine takes over the entire screen, providing a more immersive experience as if you were using a physical Windows machine.
-
Windowed Mode: This mode allows the virtual machine to run inside a resizable window on the macOS desktop. You can switch between applications easily.
-
Picture-in-Picture Mode: This allows you to keep a smaller view of your virtual machine while using other applications, providing multitasking capabilities.
-
Unity Mode: While similar to Coherence Mode, Unity allows you to run Windows applications in a macOS-like environment with the taskbar and other elements integrated into macOS.
These modes help users tailor their virtual machine experience to their workflow preferences and improve productivity.
