System Requirements for Multimedia Redirection on Horizon Windows Client

With multimedia redirection (MMR), the multimedia stream is decoded on the client system. The client system plays the media content so that the load on the ESXi host is reduced.

  • Remote desktops

    For information about operating system requirements and other software requirements and configuration settings, see the topics about Windows Media Multimedia Redirection in the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.

  • Omnissa Horizon Client computer or client access device

    Windows 10

  • Supported media formats

    Media formats that Windows Media Player supports, for example: M4V; MOV; MP4; MPEG-4 Part 2; WMV 7, 8, and 9; WMA; AVI; ACE; MP3.

    MP3 is not supported when using MMS and RTSP.

    Note: DRM-protected content is not redirected through Windows Media MMR.
