Supporting USB Devices
Transferring non-HID USB devices from the client to the host is called bridging. Both the Anyware agent on the host machine and the Anyware client must enable bridging before devices can be transferred. By default, Windows Anyware agents allow bridging of all USB devices. Administrators can globally disable USB bridging support, or enforce device whitelists or blacklists, using GPO variables on the host machine. Clients cannot bridge devices that are disallowed by the agent.
Controlling USB support on Windows Anyware Agents
For information about USB bridging configuration on Windows Anyware agents, see one of the following guides:
USB support on Linux Anyware Agents
Linux Anyware agents do not support non-HID USB devices. Only HID devices such as keyboards and mice can be used with Linux Anyware agents.
There are two methods of providing USB support from your Anyware client:
- Automatic: Automatically bridged devices are passed from the pre-session client to the session client executable, which forwards them to the host agent. No user interaction is required.
- Manual: Manually bridged devices are selected by the user, during a PCoIP session, from the session client UI.
Windows Clients Require an Additional Package
To enable USB support on Windows clients, you must install the Client USB package
