Download the virt VIEWER from https://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-x64-5.0.msi assuming you have a 64 bit windows. If you 
don't there are links to 32 bit on https://virt-manager.org/download/ again 
make sure to download the VIEWER not the manager.

Then in your browser associate .vv files with the virt viewer and clicking the 
console button should be all you need to make it work.

The portal has worked in Chrome since at least oVirt 3.1 maybe even earlier. 
Anything in particular that doesn't work for you?
