Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for Webcams and

remote desktop. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible with standard conferencing applications and
browser-based video applications, and supports standard webcams, audio USB devices, and analog audio
input.
For information about seing up the Real-Time Audio-Video feature and conguring the frame rate and

on client systems, see the VMware knowledge base article Seing Frame Rates and Resolution for Real-Time
