View Clients

In this section, we are going to quickly touch on the Horizon View Client, as it is an important component of the solution and the way you receive your virtual desktop machine's screenshots remotely.

The View Client is basically where your virtual desktop machine's screen is decoded and displayed on an endpoint device. There are two distinct types of View Clients, a software-based version, which is installed on the user's endpoint device, and a hardware-based version, which uses zero clients.

We will cover the View Client options in more detail in Chapter 10, Horizon View Client Options.
