Using Webcams and Microphones

With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use the local client system's webcam or microphone in a remote desktop or published application. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible with standard conferencing applications and browser-based video applications. It supports standard webcams, audio USB devices, and analog audio input.

To use hardware accelerate registry keys for Windows, perform the following steps:

1. Open the regedit.exe file nested under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.
2. Set the following options as appropriate:
   • forceNV = 1 to enable NVIDIA hardware acceleration
   • forceQSV = 1 to enable Intel Quick Sync Video hardware acceleration

Real Time Audio Video hardware acceleration works on your client only if the Graphics processing unit is supported on your computer and is compatible with FFmpeg.

For information about setting up the Real-Time Audio-Video feature on the agent machine, including configuring the frame rate and image resolution, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.
