Hi, I am installing a new Windows PC. On my old Windows PC I have Roll20 as a Desktop App. Both have Windows 11. I can't fiigure out where or how to install Roll20 desktop app on the new PC. I immediately land in the browser version, which I'd rather not have. I want to be able to have the Roll20 Icon on my taskbar as well.

There is no desktop app, and there never has been AFAIK. There is a deprecated mobile app, but that hasn't been updated in several years.  I'm guessing you created a browser shortcut and saved it to your desktop. If you still have your old Windows PC and can take a screenshot of what the icon and window looked like that could be helpful.

It is definitely a browser shortcut that was just saved to your desktop. Roll20 has never had (and if I remember correctly the devs have said never will have) a desktop app.

Would that be how I got the roll20 Icon on my taskbar, just by a browser? Thanks for the quick replies to both. It's been a while since I've had it down there

Yep, that'd be how.

As the others have stated, in the entire history of Roll20 there has never been a Desktop version of Roll20. It has been designed as a browser platform since day one for ease of use.

I believe they may have used the "Install as an app" option that is available on some browsers like Edge. A nifty little feature and can lead to misunderstood memories such as this. I've done it myself a time or two.
