After you install Horizon Client on a Mac, you can configure a variety of settings to control how the client connects to and behaves with your Horizon environment. These settings cover connection and certificate handling, security and TLS options, audio-video and Microsoft Teams optimization, logging, performance tuning, and end-user customizations like keyboard shortcuts and cursor behavior. Most of these settings are configured using defaults commands, configuration files, or administrative policies, and many are intended for IT administrators preparing a managed deployment rather than individual end users.
