Horizon View users can now use Skype, Google Hangout and Webex from their Horizon View desktops. Please note that this update does not support 64 bit systems, Windows 8 View desktops or the Horizon View Client for Windows Store.

To use Microsoft Lync from your Windows 8 client, you must first install the Microsoft plug-in from here. With the Horizon View Client for Windows version 5.4, we now also support Windows 8 client systems.Ĭustomers can leverage the power of the Microsoft Lync to make rich voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) and videoconferencing calls without negatively affecting the datacenter server or network. At that time, the only configuration available was a Windows 7 client system with a Windows 7 Horizon View desktop. We announced support for Microsoft Lync calls from a Horizon View desktop in March. The Horizon View admin does not need to maintain various printer drivers on the Horizon View desktop images and the end user can print to a local printer without extra setup.
This feature is particularly important for remote end users and branch offices. The user does not have to install drivers on the Horizon View desktop or dedicate the printer to one environment or the other.
These local printers can be directly attached USB or network printers on a home or branch office network. The Linux and Mac clients now support the same virtual printing capability that our Windows client has had for some time: the list of local printers that have been configured on the Horizon View client endpoint is shared with or redirected to the Horizon View desktop. These updates offer improvements in printing, multimedia and mobile accessibility. VMware® has updated the Horizon View™ Windows client to 5.4, and introduced version 2.1 of the Linux, Mac, Android, iOS and Windows Store clients. By Ben Chong, Product Management End-User Computing
