Requirements for Using Microsoft Lync with Horizon Client
You can use a Microsoft Lync 2013 client on remote desktops to participate in Unified Communications
(UC) VoIP (voice over IP) and video chat calls with Lync certified USB audio and video devices. A dedicated
IP phone is no longer required.
This architecture requires the installation of a Microsoft Lync 2013 client on the remote desktop and a
Microsoft Lync VDI plug-in on the client endpoint. Customers can use the Microsoft Lync 2013 client for
presence, instant messaging, Web conferencing, and Microsoft Office functionality.
Whenever a Lync VoIP or video chat call occurs, the Lync VDI plug-in offloads all the media processing
from the datacenter server to the client endpoint, and encodes all media into Lync-optimized audio and
video codecs. This optimized architecture is highly scalable, results in lower network bandwidth used, and
provides point-to-point media delivery with support for high-quality real-time VoIP and video. For more
information, see the white paper about Horizon 6 and Microsoft Lync 2013, at
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vmware-horizon-view-microsoft-lync-install-configure.pdf.
NOTE Recording audio is not yet supported. This integration is supported only with the PCoIP display
protocol.
