Prerequisites
Use Horizon Client to connect to a Windows XP desktop that has the Japanese keyboard layout enabled.
Procedure
1 Open Settings and tap Keyboard.
If you are using the remote desktop 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 window.
2 Tap Use Japanese 106/109 Keyboard Layout to select the check box.
This setting is disabled if the keyboard layout on the Windows XP desktop is not set to Japanese or if
the desktop is not running Windows XP.
Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature
With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use the client device's built-in cameras and
microphones in a remote desktop. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible 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 the client device.
For information about setting up the Real-Time Audio-Video feature on a remote desktop, see the
Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
When you install Horizon Client on an Android 6 or later device, Horizon Client prompts you for
permission to access the camera and microphone. You must grant permission for the camera and
microphone to work with the remote desktop. You can enable or disable access to the camera or
microphone in the Android Settings app. For Android devices earlier than Android 6, permission to the
camera and microphone is opened by default.
If the camera is currently being used by another app, it cannot be used by the remote desktop
simultaneously. Also, if the camera is being used by the remote desktop, it cannot be used by the client
device at the same time.
If the client device has both a front and a back camera, you can select which camera to use in the remote
desktop. If you are using a remote desktop in full-screen mode, tap the Horizon Client Tools radial menu
icon, tap the gear icon, tap Camera, tap Select a camera, and tap the camera to use. If you are not using
full-screen mode, Settings is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client toolbar. The
Camera setting is available only when the camera is started.
