administrator can set a policy to disable sound playback.
Take into account the following guidelines:
n
To turn up the volume, use the sound control on your client system, not the sound control in the remote

might be reduced. Some browsers work beer than others in this regard.
Copying and Pasting Text
It is possible to copy text to and from remote desktops and applications. Your View administrator can set
this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from your client system to a remote desktop
or application, or only from a remote desktop or application to your client system, or both, or neither.
Administrators congure the ability to copy and paste by using group policy objects (GPOs) that pertain to
View Agent or Horizon Agent in remote desktops. For more information, see “HTML Access Group Policy
Seings,” on page 24.
You can copy up to 1MB of text, including any Unicode non-ASCII characters. You can copy text from your
client system to a remote desktop or application, or the reverse, but the pasted text is plain text.
You cannot copy and paste graphics. You also cannot copy and paste les between a remote desktop and the
le system on your client computer.
N The copy and paste feature is not supported on iOS Safari.
