Today, Amazon WorkSpaces introduces new Linux client with versions supporting Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. The new client, powered by WSP(WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol), improves the remote desktop experience by offering enhanced web conferencing functionality, better multi-monitor support, and a more user-friendly interface.

The new Linux client integrates with WSP and offers new features, such as 2-way audio/video, webcam redirection, and extending full-screen across selected monitors, which enable users to work more productively. It offers an enhanced user experience with a contemporary design, making the application more user-friendly. Customers can also connect to their PCoIP WorkSpaces using the new Linux client version that supports Ubuntu 20.04.
