Sound, Music, and Video
If sound is turned on for your device, you can play audio in a remote desktop.
Multitasking
You can switch between Horizon Client and other apps without losing a remote desktop or application
connection.
In a WiFi network, by default Horizon Client runs in the background indefinitely. In a 3G network,
Horizon Client suspends data transmission when you switch to another app. Data transmission resumes
when you switch back to Horizon Client.
The Horizon Client icon appears in the status bar when the app is running in the background and there is a
connection to a remote desktop. To switch back to Horizon Client, tap the icon in the status bar.
You can copy and paste plain text between an Android device application and a remote desktop or between
two remote desktops. Formatting information is not copied.
n
Text that you copy to your Android device's clipboard is automatically copied to your remote desktop's
clipboard when you log in to the remote desktop.
n
If you are logged in to a remote desktop, text that you copy to the remote desktop's Clipboard is copied
to your Android device's clipboard when you press the Home button or switch to the background.
By default, you can copy and paste plain text between an Android device application and a remote
application. The clipboard can accommodate 1MB of data for copy and paste operations. To enable users to
copy plain text between a remote application and an Android device application, you must modify the
PCoIP session group policy setting called Configure clipboard redirection on the RDS host that hosts the
remote application pool. For information about configuring this group policy setting, see the Setting Up
Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Administrators can use an ADMX template file to set a group policy that specifies where documents are
saved. This policy is called "Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory." For more information, see
the "RDS Profiles Settings" topic in the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
Screen Resolutions and Using External Displays
When you connect your device to an external display or projector, Horizon Client supports certain
maximum display resolutions. You can change the screen resolution used on your device to allow scrolling
a larger screen resolution.
Enlarging the Screen Resolution for a Remote Desktop
By default, the display resolution is set so that the entire Windows desktop fits inside your device, and the
desktop icons and task bar icons are a certain size. If you change the default to a higher resolution, the
desktop still fits inside the device, but the desktop and taskbar icons become smaller.
You can pinch your fingers apart to zoom in and make the desktop larger than the device screen. You can
then tap and drag to access the edges of the desktop.
