Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for Webcams and
Microphones
With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use your local computer's webcam or microphone on your
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
image resolution in a remote desktop, see the Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document. For
information about conguring these seings on client systems, see the VMware knowledge base article
Seing Frame Rates and Resolution for Real-Time Audio-Video on Horizon View Clients, at
hp://kb.vmware.com/kb/2053644.
To download a test application that veries the correct installation and operation of the Real-Time Audio-
Video functionality, go to hp://labs.vmware.com/ings/real-time-audio-video-test-application. This test
application is available as a VMware ing, and therefore no technical support is available for it.
When You Can Use Your Webcam
If a Horizon administrator has congured the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, and if you use the VMware
Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol, a webcam that is built-in or connected to your local
computer can be used on your desktop. You can use the webcam in conferencing applications such as Skype,
Webex, or Google Hangouts.
During the setup of an application such as Skype, Webex, or Google Hangouts on your remote desktop, you
can choose input and output devices from menus in the application. For virtual machine desktops, you can
choose VMware Virtual Microphone and VMware Virtual Webcam. For published desktops, you can choose
Remote Audio Device and VMware Virtual Webcam.
With many applications, however, this feature will just work, and selecting an input device will not be
necessary.
