Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS
What’s new
Adaptive Audio [Technical Preview]
With adaptive audio, you don’t need to configure the audio quality policies on the VDA. Adaptive audio
optimizes settings for your environment and replaces legacy audio compression formats to provide
an excellent user experience.
For more information, see Adaptive Audio in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.
For information on how to configure, see Adaptive audio documentation.
Browser Content Redirection [Technical Preview]
Browser Content Redirection (BCR) redirects the remote browser’s content to the user’s computer
desktop. BCR is a frameless‑borderless web browser that runs within the remote desktop window
and covers (overlays) the remote (VDA) browser’s content area.
BCR redirects the contents of a web browser to a client device, and creates a corresponding browser
embedded within Citrix Workspace app. This feature oloads network usage, page processing, and
graphics rendering to the endpoint. Doing so improves the user experience when browsing demand‑
ing webpages, especially webpages that incorporate HTML5 or WebRTC. Only the viewport (the user’s
visible area of a webpage) is redirected to the endpoint. Browser content redirection doesn’t redirect
the user interface (the address bar, toolbar, and so forth) of the browser on the VDA.
In other words, BCR provides the ability of rendering webpages in the allow list on the client side. This
feature uses Citrix Workspace app to instantiate a corresponding rendering engine on the client side,
which fetches the HTTP and HTTPS content from the URL.
Note:
• This feature is a request‑only preview. To get it enabled in your environment, fill out the
Podio form.
For more information on how to set up the allow list see:
•Browser content redirection Chrome extension.
•Browser content redirection policy settings.
Known issues in the feature
• During BCR, when you open a website link in a new tab, it opens in the client browser instead
of the session browser. [HDX‑43206]
