Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for Webcams and
Microphones
With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use your client machine's webcam or microphone in a
remote desktop or application. 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.
Real-Time Audio-Video is supported only in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. The default video
resolution is 320 x 240. The default Real-Time Audio-Video seings work well with most webcam and audio
applications. For information about changing the Real-Time Audio-Video seings, see "Conguring Real-
Time Audio-Video Group Policy Seings" in the Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
When a remote desktop or application is connected to the client machine's webcam or microphone, before
the remote desktop or application can use 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. 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. 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. If you allow the device to be used, Chrome does not ask for
permission again.
When a remote desktop is connected to the client machine's webcam or microphone, an icon for each device
appears at the top of the sidebar. A red question mark appears over the device icon in the sidebar to indicate
the permission request. If you allow a device to be used, the red question mark disappears. If you reject a
permission request, the device icon disappears.
If Real-Time Audio-Video is being used in a remote desktop or application session and you open a
connection to a second desktop or application, and if a security warning appears (for example, if a valid
certicate was not installed), ignoring the warning and continuing to connect to the second desktop or
application causes Real-Time Audio-Video to stop working in the rst session.
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 server and disconnect from (but do not log out from) the desktop or quit the hosted
application.
