The VDI software consists of the Webex Meetings app on the hosted virtual desktops (HVD) and the plugin on the thin clients. The software routes audio and video streams between the thin client and Webex Meetings cloud, without going through the HVD in the datacenter.
The VDI plugin is installed on a thin client while the app is installed on the HVD. When a user launches a virtual broker-client ( Citrix Workspace app or VMWare Horizon Client), the vendor’s software initiates a virtual channel. The Webex app plugin and agent use this virtual channel to communicate.
For a VMware reinstallation, you must reinstall the Webex App plugin on a Linux or Mac thin client. If you have users that don’t want to use the VDI client and Webex App is already deployed, you can disable VDI detection after installation. After this configuration, Webex App runs on the non-optimized solution.
