Getting started with VDI in zoom App

ByCorporate Guider Home, Zoom

VDI, or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, is a server-based computing model for delivering desktop images over a network to endpoint devices. The endpoint can then be accessed by users to access the operating system (OS) and applications on it. For example, an endpoint can be a PC, a thin client, or a mobile device. Among the benefits of using VDI are improved data protection, improved support for remote workers, and the ability to keep older machines in operation for a longer period of time.

Zoom is compatible with Citrix, VMware, and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) VDI solutions and can be delivered through a thin client as well as Citrix and VMware applications. There is a list of different download packages and installation instructions available on this page, along with links to the download packages.

Prerequisites for getting started with VDI

  • Citrix XenDesktop server or VMware Horizon server publishing desktops, or Windows Remote Desktop tools are common among organizations using Citrix XenDesktop
  • Workspace from Citrix, Horizons from VMware, AVD client for Windows, or VMware Horizons from Citrix
    Note:
  • There is no support for the Citrix Workspace app on the Microsoft store

Installation for Zoom application in VDI

Zoom requires administrator privileges and two steps to install in a VDI environment:

  • In most cases, the software must be installed within the image of the Virtual Desktop.
  • All thin clients accessing the VDI are installed with the Zoom Media Plugin.

Instructions for installation can be found on Citrix’s or VMware’s support pages.

Notes:

  • Zoom cannot be published as an app at the moment.
  • Windows and iGel plugins support RDP remote desktop.
  • RDP connections via VMware clients are not supported.
  • VMware Horizon Client for Linux and Windows is supported with the VMware Blast protocol.
  • The VMware client cannot connect with an RDP protocol, but it can connect with the VMware Blast or PCoIP protocols.
