you can no longer drag and drop les that can be transferred.
Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for Webcams and
Microphones
With the Real-Time Audio-Video (RTAV) feature, you can use your client machine's webcam or microphone
on your remote desktop. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible with standard conferencing applications and
browser-based video applications, and supports standard webcams, audio USB devices, and analog audio
input.
RTAV is supported on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox only. The default video resolution is 320 x 240.
The default RTAV seings work well with most webcam and audio applications. For information on how to
change RTAV seings, see "Conguring Real-Time Audio-Video Group Policy Seings" in the Seing Up
Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
When the remote desktop is connected to the client machine's webcam or microphone, an icon for each
appears at the top of the sidebar. Before the desktop can connect to the webcam or microphone, the browser
might ask for permission. Dierent browsers behave dierently.
n
Microsoft Edge asks for permission every time and you cannot change this behavior. For more
information, see hps://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/05/13/announcing-media-capture-
functionality-in-microsoft-edge.
n
Firefox asks for permission every time but you can change this behavior. For more information, see
hps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/permissions-manager-give-ability-store-passwords-set-cookies-
more?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=how-do-i-manage-website-permissions.
n
Chrome asks for permission the rst time and if you allow the device to be used, will not ask again.
If RTAV is being used in a desktop session and the user opens a connection to a second desktop, and if a
security warning is displayed (this can happen if no valid certicate was installed, for example), ignoring the
warning and continuing to connect to the second desktop will cause RTAV to stop working in the rst
desktop session. This is expected behavior.
Log Off or Disconnect
With some congurations, if you disconnect from a remote desktop without logging o, applications in the
desktop can remain open. You can also disconnect from a server and leave remote applications running.
Procedure
n
Log out of the View server and disconnect from (but do not log out from) the desktop or quit the hosted
application.
