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 traffic, or if the browser is performing a lot of tasks (I/O), sound quality
might be reduced. Some browsers work better 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 configure 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 “Group Policy Settings for
HTML Access,” on page 29.
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 files between a remote desktop and
the file system on your client computer.
NOTE The copy and paste feature is not supported on iOS Safari.
Use the Copy and Paste Feature
To copy and paste text, you must use the Copy & Paste button located at the top of the sidebar.
This procedure describes how to use the Copy & Paste window to copy text from your local client system to
a remote application or how to copy text from a remote application to your local client system. If, however,
you are copying and pasting text between remote applications and desktops, you can simply copy and paste
as you normally would, and there is no need to use the Copy & Paste window.
