The Address Book manages your contacts. All clients registered to your license (listed on your My.AnyDesk customer portal) share the Address Book assuming it has not been disabled via a custom client.
By adding tags to contacts, extensive amounts of entries become manageable by filtering. This feature is available for the premium AnyDesk licenses.
Create and Manage the Address Book
Open the Address Book tab with the toolbar-icon in the upper right corner.
You can open the Address Book Menu by clicking the displayed address book name in the upper left corner, to list, manage, or create new address books. Double Clicking on a respective entry will connect you immediately to that ID.
By clicking on "Create new Address Book..." a new Window will pop up where you type in the name of the new Address Book.
You can create as many new Address Books as your license allows (see Pricing) and also remove them again.
Tip: Disable the Address Book to limit access to your clients by creating a custom client. See: Customize AnyDesk.
