While the desktop MetaTrader 5 grows in popularity, the [web version](https://web.metatrader.app/terminal?utm_source=www.metatrader5.com&utm_campaign=EN_News_MT5_Web_Brokerage_Demo) of the platform gains momentum as well. [More and more brokers](https://alpari.com/en/company/news/4074_10102016/) offer their clients the ability to trade directly in their browsers. The latest MetaTrader 5 update allows you to quickly open a demo account at a brokerage company. This feature is available only on the MQL5.com website.

Do you want to test the web platform using your broker's demo account? Launch the [WebTerminal](https://web.metatrader.app/terminal?utm_source=www.metatrader5.com&utm_campaign=EN_News_MT5_Web_Brokerage_Demo) on MQL5.community and write the broker's name in the account opening window. After selecting the broker server, you access the demo account and you are ready to go.
