Enable the Multiple Monitor Feature for Horizon Client
With the multiple monitor feature, you can extend a remote desktop to one external monitor.
To enable the multiple monitor feature for Horizon Client, you install a helper extension and enable
Unified Desktop Mode on your Chromebook.
You must install the helper extension to make the remote desktop window display correctly on an external
monitor when the Chromebook display and the external display have different width-to-length ratios.
Procedure
1 Log in to your Chromebook.
2 Download and install the VMware Horizon Client Helper extension from the Chrome Web Store.
3 Open a browser window on your Chromebook and type chrome://flags in the URL bar.
4 Scroll down to Unified desktop mode and tap Enable.
5 Tap Restart Now to restart your Chromebook and make the change take effect.
What to do next
After your Chromebook restarts, you can open the Chromebook Settings and tap Display settings to
configure Unified Desktop display options.
To extend a remote desktop window to the external monitor, tap the Maximize button. You can tap the
Restore button to make the remote desktop window go back to the Chromebook monitor.
Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for
Microphones
With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use a microphone connected to the client device on a
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 the client device.
Note Only the audio-in feature is supported. The video feature is not supported.
The first time you use the microphone, Horizon Client prompts you for permission to access it. You must
grant permission for the microphone to work with the remote desktop. You can enable and disable access
to the microphone by changing the Microphone permission for Horizon Client in the iOS Settings app.
