Installation and Setup Guide

3 When the VMware Horizon Collaboration dialog box opens, enter the user name (for example,
testuser or domain\testuser) or the email address of the user that you want to join the remote
desktop session.
The first time you enter the user name or email address of a particular user, you must click Look up
"user", enter a comma (,), or press the Enter key to validate the user. The session collaboration
feature remembers the user the next time you enter the user's user name or email address.
You can invite up to five users by default. A Horizon administrator can change the maximum number
of users that you can invite.

The following invitation methods are available by default. A Horizon administrator can disable the
email and IM invitation methods.

window. Skype for Business must be installed and configured to use this invitation
method.
Copy Link Copies the collaboration invitation to the clipboard. You must manually open
