Webcam Support

The Trusted Zero Client supports USB webcams when connecting to an Anyware Agent for Windows as well as an Omnissa (VMware) Horizon Agent, although their functionalities may vary. USB webcams can be used while in the remote desktop, including with applications such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

This feature is enabled by default.

Notes

• Previously, Webcam support was only available for Anyware agents. While support has been extended to Omnissa Horizon agents, there are differences in the capabilities offered.

   chrome://flags/#enable-webusb-device-detection
   

2. Open the Chrome menu and disable the webUSB flag.
