conferencing units, such as Pexip.
n
IPv6 is not supported. Only IPv4 deployments are supported.
n
Gallery view is not currently supported.
n
You cannot record calls.
n
Double-hop scenario such as Horizon Agent nested with Horizon Client is not supported.
n
Using Lync or Skype for Business client on the client machine concurrently with optimized Skype for
Business client in the remote desktop is not supported.

and-lync-client-ui.aspx
n
In the video preview window, if you want to preview a different camera than the one listed, select the
device, then close the dialog, then re-open it to preview it.
n
If you are connected to a private network when you install Skype for Business on the remote desktop,
the installer adds inbound and outbound firewall rules for that network profile. When you log on to the
remote desktop from a domain network and then use Skype for Business, you see a firewall
exception. To fix the problem, manually add firewall exceptions for Skype for Business client in the
firewall rules for all network profiles.
