Supporting VMware Real Time Audio-Video
Use the Real-Time Audio-Video feature to run Skype and other online conference applications on the remote desktop. Using this
feature, both audio and video devices that are connected to your thin client are available to use for VoIP in remote desktop.
To know more about the VMware Real Time Audio-Video support, go to pubs.vmware.com/horizon-62-view/topic/
com.vmware.horizon-view.desktops.doc/GUID-D6FD6AD1-D326-4387-A6F0-152C7D844AA0.html.
NOTE: There is no additional configuration for ThinOS. RTAV video requires RTME package to be installed on your device.
To validate the VMware Real Time Audio-Video, do the following:
1. Connect to the VMware PCoIP or Blast desktop with the audio and video devices.
NOTE: USB redirection must be disabled for the audio/video devices.
2. Verify the audio playback of the system using the VMware virtual audio.
