Users then connect remotely to their virtual desktop machine over the LAN/WAN/Internet from their chosen endpoint device and from any location. In the context of a VMware Horizon View VDI solution, this refers to a model whereby the desktop operating system is running as a virtual machine hosted on a hypervisor, which is VMware vSphere (ESXi and vCenter) in this case, and running on the server infrastructure located centrally somewhere in a data center.
The term VDI was actually adopted by VMware and has become the accepted definition for this technology. For example, in some cases, the term VDI is used when, in fact, the solution is just delivering applications.
If possible, reduce the number of open applications and browser tabs during the meeting.As we touched on at the start of this chapter, there are different definitions for the solutions that fall under the heading of VDI, depending on the vendor you are working with. If possible, do not run video in full screen mode. Ensure you have enough overall bandwidth on the DaaS side. This is even more important when using meeting applications from DaaS. A reliable and stable connection to DaaS is critical to the user experience. Ensure your users have enough bandwidth at the remote endpoint. Default image resolution width in pixels.

GPO PathĬompute Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > VMware View Agent Configuration > View RTAV Configuration > View RTAV Webcam Settings GPO Settings NOTE: It is recommended by VMware to have 4 vCPU on your DaaS desktop if you use RTAV and MS Teams. You can adjust the settings through the Horizon Group Policy templates and find the optimal settings for your users. The following settings can help if you leverage a meeting application other than Zoom such as MS Teams. VMware Horizon supports Real-Time Audio Video. Solution – MS Teams Enable Real-Time Audio Video (RTAV) On the local client endpoint, download the Zoom VDI plug-in. From the DaaS desktop, download and install the latest Zoom VDI software. Leveraging the Zoom VDI solution should improve the overall Zoom experience in DaaS. This application has specific optimizations in place and is designed to work with a plug-in that is installed the remote endpoint. Zoom offers a specific application for VDI. The user experience on DaaS when using meeting software such as Zoom or MS Teams is poor.
