Using Horizon Client with Samsung DeX

If the Android device supports Samsung DeX, you can use Horizon Client in DeX desktop mode.

When the device is in DeX desktop mode, Horizon Client treats the device as a thin client and Thin Client mode is activated. For more information, see Using Horizon Client on a Thin Client.

The following features are supported when you use Horizon Client in Horizon DeX desktop mode.

  • You can configure Horizon Client to start automatically when you switch to DeX desktop mode. See Activate the DeX Mode Auto Launch Feature.
  • Remote desktop and published application sessions continue to run after you enter or exit DeX desktop mode.
  • If Horizon Client is maximized, remote desktops enter full-screen mode after you switch to DeX desktop mode.
  • To switch the language input method in a remote desktop, you can use the language switch key on a Samsung physical keyboard.
  • You can connect to multiple remote desktops and published applications at the same time. Smart card authentication is not supported for multiple sessions.
