H.264 Decoding
If you use a Chrome browser, you can allow H.264 decoding in the HTML Access client for remote desktop
and application sessions.
When you allow H.264 decoding, the HTML Access client uses H.264 decoding if the agent supports H.264
encoding. If the agent does not support H.264 encoding, the HTML Access client uses JPEG/PNG decoding.
If you are connected to a remote desktop or application, you can allow H.264 decoding by turning on the
Allow H.264 decoding option in the Seings window, which is available from the sidebar. You must
disconnect and reconnect to the remote desktop or application for the new seing to take eect.
If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, you can click the  toolbar buon in the
upper-right corner of the desktop and application selector screen and turn on the Allow H.264 decoding
option in the Seings window. The new seing takes eect for any sessions that are connected after you
change the seing.
Setting the Time Zone
The time zone used in a remote desktop or application is automatically set to the time zone in your local
system. However, when using the HTML Access client, if the time zone cannot be correctly determined due
to certain daylight saving policies, you might need to set the time zone manually.
To manually set the correct time zone information to use before you connect to a remote desktop or
application, click the  toolbar buon in the upper-right corner of the desktop and application
selector screen. Turn o the Set Time Zone Automatically option in the Seings window and select one of
the time zones from the drop-down menu.
The value you selected is saved as your preferred time zone to use when connecting to a remote desktop or
application.
