Enhance Zoom video calls with Amazon WorkSpaces

Zoom has extended support for virtual desktops with a Zoom plugin for Amazon WorkSpaces . This plugin optimizes your video experience when using Zoom with an Amazon WorkSpaces Windows client.

On starting a Zoom Meeting in your Amazon WorkSpaces session, the plugin establishes a secure connection with the Zoom Meeting client in the session. You have the option to select available devices for Zoom Meetings through Zoom’s native audio and video preferences.

During a Zoom Meeting, the plugin encodes the audio/video. It sends the data directly to the meeting. The plugin on the local device receives and displays audio/video from all the remote participants .

The connection aligns the video that it receives with the meeting window and updates for user actions. This includes muting the audio or turning the camera on or off.
