Sound
You can play sound in your remote desktops and applications, but some limitations apply.
By default, sound playback is enabled for remote desktops and applications, although your View
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
desktop or application.
n
Occasionally, the sound might go out of sync with the video.
n
In conditions of heavy network trac, or if the browser is performing a lot of tasks (I/O), sound quality
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 policies that pertain to View Agent or
Horizon Agent in remote desktops. For more information, see “HTML Access Group Policy Seings,” on
page 24. Administrators can also use group policies to restrict clipboard formats during copy and paste
operations. Because HTML Access supports transferring only text in the clipboard, only the text lters work
with the HTML Access client. For information about using group policies to lter clipboard formats, see the
Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
