Note
From Genymotion Desktop 3.3.0 onward, it is possible to switch to QEMU hypervisor instead of VirtualBox. Though it is still experimental, tests have shown that using QEMU on macOS provides better compatibility and performance than VirtualBox.
Virtual machines, servers and Cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure, ...)
Genymotion Desktop has been designed to run in a physical environment, not in a virtual machine. For this reason, Genymotion Desktop will not work if run in a macOS VM, a mac server or a macOS Cloud instance.
