Using Displays

When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Anyware Client for Linux shows your remote desktop as one or more displays. The number of displays it shows is constrained by your local system's available monitors (and the PCoIP protocol itself, which supports up to four monitors).

Selecting Audio Devices in Session

While in session, you can select audio devices that will be forwarded to the agent. If more than one audio device is connected to the client machine, you can select up to three audio input and output devices by default after a PCoIP session has been established.
