Introduction<\/strong>
In my first blog post http:\/\/axendatacentre.com\/blog\/2020\/04\/22\/zoom-hdx-offloading-for-citrix-virtual-desktops-part-1\/<\/a> I explored how frictionless it was to setup and deploy Zoom in a Citrix Virtual Desktop, this post builds upon my initial post looking at a wider device spectrum, fallback scenarios and further testing using iGel thin clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of Optimised vs. Un-Optimised Zoom Meetings in Citrix VDI (DaaS)<\/strong>
The below image represents both an (un)optimised Zoom meeting running within a Citrix virtual desktop. If an employee access’s his\/her Citrix virtual desktop from an endpoint e.g BYO that doesn’t have the \u201cZoom Media Plugin<\/em><\/strong>\u201d installed like it was on there e.g CORP device then the once “Optimised<\/span>” HDX offloaded A\/V traffic for there Zoom Meeting is effectively now “Un-Optimised<\/em>” and the A\/V processing that was shifted onto the employee’s endpoint will now be processed within the Citrix virtual desktop in the resource location (data centre) causing a degraded experience, macro uplift in computing and networking resources to process the A\/V for the Zoom meeting and the A\/V traffic sent and received from the employees endpoint which is then sent out via the Zoom client within the Citrix virtual desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
