Requirements for Using Skype for Business with
Horizon Client
An end user can run Skype for Business inside a virtual desktop without negatively affecting the virtual
infrastructure and overloading the network. All media processing takes place on the client machine,
instead of in the virtual desktop, during Skype audio and video calls.
To use this feature, the VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business software must be
installed on the client machine. This software is installed by default during Horizon Client for Mac
installation.
A Horizon administrator must also install the VMware Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business feature
on the virtual desktop during Horizon Agent installation. For information about installing Horizon Agent,
see the Setting Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 document.
For complete requirements, see "Configure Skype for Business" in the Configuring Remote Desktop
Features in Horizon 7 document.
