Setting Description
Compression Sets the image compression rate during the image transfer to the remote desktop or application.
You can choose from the following compression modes:
n
Disable. Image compression is disabled.
n
Lossless. Lossless (zlib) compression is used without loss of image quality.
n
JPEG. JPEG compression is used with loss of quality. You specify the level of image quality in the
JPEG compression quality field. JPEG compression quality must be a value between 0 and 100.
When you enable this setting, the selected compression mode is set for all users affected by this policy.
However, users can change the Compression option in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection
Preferences dialog box, overriding the policy setting.
When you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, JPEG compression mode is used.
Hide Webcam Prevents webcams from appearing in the scanner selection menu in the VMware Horizon Scanner
Redirection Preferences dialog box.
This setting is available as a Computer Configuration and User Configuration policy.
By default, webcams can be redirected to desktops and applications. Users can select webcams and use
them as virtual scanners to capture images.
When you enable this setting as a Computer Configuration policy, webcams are hidden from all users
of the affected computers. Users cannot change the Hide Webcam option in the VMware Horizon
Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box.
When you enable this setting as a User Configuration policy, webcams are hidden from all affected
users. However, users can change the Hide Webcam option in the VMware Horizon Scanner
Redirection Preferences dialog box.
When you enable this setting in both Computer Configuration and User Configuration, the Hide
Webcam setting in Computer Configuration overrides the corresponding policy setting in User
Configuration for all users of the affected computers.
When you disable this setting or do not configure it in either policy configuration, the Hide Webcam
setting is determined by the corresponding policy setting (either User Configuration or Computer
Configuration) or by user selection in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog
box.

When you enable this setting as a User Configuration policy, the setting determines the scanner
autoselection mode for all affected users. However, users can change the Default Scanner option in the
VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences dialog box.

autoselection mode in Computer Configuration overrides the corresponding policy setting in User
Configuration for all users of the affected computers.

Computer Configuration) or by user selection in the VMware Horizon Scanner Redirection Preferences
dialog box.
