How to setup AVD and Windows 365 virtual machine configuration for webcam redirection?


The AVD clients integrated in RX420(RDP) and RX-RDP+ devices (firmware version 2.4.5 and higher) support the native (functional) redirection of USB webcams. To ensure proper webcam redirection, please make sure that the following Group Policy setting is not enabled:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection: Do not allow video capture redirection

In simplest case, this Group Policy setting can be configured on the local machine with Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

Additionally, each user under Settings > Privacy > Camera, needs to allow the applications to access the camera.

Note: Webcams described as driverless Windows webcams (webcam not requiring any special vendor drivers to work on Windows) or Video for Linux version 2 compliant webcams should work. To preserve the network bandwidth when using redirected webcams, the device firmware uses the hardware-based H.264 encoder to compress the webcam’s video stream before sending it to WVD session.
