Enabling window compositing for IGEL in Zoom Meeting
A window compositing system allows applications to separate and manage their buffers independently for each of their windows. A window manager is capable of combining output from these separate buffers into a common desktop so that they can be viewed together. The desktop environment, as well as the buffers themselves, can also be affected by the way they are displayed and how they interact with each other. There are a number of configuration options that need to be selected in order to enable window compositing on IGEL thin clients.
This article covers:
