Address Books Management

 

The AnyDesk Address Book is like your phone's contact list, but for the devices you connect to. You can organize these contacts by adding tags to them, which helps you find them easily.
	Personal Address Book Organization Address Book

Every user gets their personal Address Book. If you are a part of a team or organization, you can also access your organization's Address Book. 

Your Address Books stay up-to-date across all your devices. So, if you make changes to it on the my.anydesk II management console or the AnyDesk client, those changes will show up everywhere you use AnyDesk.
