desktop. This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.9.

In a multiple-monitor configuration, you can select the monitors on which to display the published windows application.
Expanded support for serial port redirection
Serial port redirection is supported for Windows 7 and Windows 10 virtual desktops that have Horizon Agent 7.9 installed
with the serial port redirection option enabled. The PCoIP protocol is fully validated and supported for serial port redirection.
Support for HTML5 Multimedia Redirection
Horizon Client for Linux supports the redirection of multimedia content to the client system from a Google Chrome or
