About the Video Session Viewer
After you have connected to a server, the server desktop appears in a separate window called the Video
Session Viewer. You see both the local and the server cursor. You might need to align these cursors if they
do not move together or adjust the video if they seem to behave sporadically. For more information on
aligning cursors, see "Aligning the cursors (on page 82)."
From the Video Session Viewer, you can access all the normal functions of the server. You can also
perform Video Session Viewer specific tasks, such as sending macro commands to the server.
You can also scan through a customized list of servers by enabling individual servers to display in the
Thumbnail Viewer. This view contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-
interactive version of a screen image of the server. For more information, see "Viewing multiple servers
using Scan mode (on page 83)."
