Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for Microphones
With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use a microphone connected to your mobile device on
your remote desktop. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible with standard audio devices and with standard
conferencing applications such as Skype, WebEx, and Google Hangouts.
Real-Time Audio-Video is enabled by default when you install Horizon Client on your device.
NOTE Only the audio-in feature is supported. The video feature is not supported.
For information about setting up the Real-Time Audio-Video feature on a remote desktop, see the Setting Up
Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
When you install Horizon Client on an Android 6 device, Horizon Client prompts you for permission to
access the microphone. You must grant permission for the microphone to work with your remote desktop.
You can enable or disable access to the microphone by changing the Microphone permission for
Horizon Client in the Android Settings app. For Android devices earlier than Android 6, permission to the
microphone is opened by default.
Using Native Operating System Gestures with Touch Redirection
You can use native operating system gestures from your touch-based mobile device when you are
connected to a Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows Server 2012 remote desktop, or to a remote
application that is hosted on Windows Server 2012. For example, you can touch, hold, and release an item
on a Windows 8 desktop to display the item's context menu.
When touch redirection is enabled, you can use only native operating system touch gestures. Horizon Client
local gestures, such as double-click and pinch, no longer work. You must drag the Unity Touch tab button to
display the Unity Touch sidebar.
Touch redirection is enabled by default when you connect to a Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows Server
2012 remote desktop, or to a remote application that is hosted on Windows Server 2012.
To disable touch redirection, open Settings, tap Touch, and deselect the Windows native touch gestures
check box. If you are connected to a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, tap the
Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon and tap the gear icon. If you are not using full-screen mode, Settings
is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client toolbar. If you are not connected to a remote
desktop or application, tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Horizon Client screen.
Using the Unity Touch Sidebar with a Remote Desktop
You can quickly navigate to a remote desktop application or file from a Unity Touch sidebar. From this
sidebar, you can open files and applications, switch between running applications, and minimize, maximize,
restore, or close windows and applications in a remote desktop.
If the Unity Touch feature is enabled, the sidebar appears on the left side of the screen when you first access
a remote desktop.
