  • USB Redirection: Allow the redirection of USB devices connected to the local machine through the network connection, so that the Guest sees the device as locally attached.
  • Enable pasting to the Guest: Sending clipboard content from local user machine to the Guest. 
  • Enable pasting to Client: Sending the Guest clipboard contents to the user's local machine.
  • Enable Power Actions. Allow the user to send ACPI commands (shutdown, reset, power-off) to the Guest.

  • Enable audio Output: Enables audio produced in the Guest to be played through the playback device on the local machine.
  • Enable audio Input: Enables reception at the Guest of the audio received through the input device (microphone, ....) of the local machine.
  • Enable video streaming: enables streaming of areas of the Guest virtual display device detected as video (animations, games, or more generally  content that produces large changes on the screen for more than a few seconds, generating a lot of network traffic) to the flexVDI Client.

  • Multiple clients: Allows several flexVDI Client programs to share (connect simultaneously to) the same virtual desktop session.
