## **Audio**

Use the **Remote Computer** drop-down menu to specify whether the remote computer sound should be played on your local computer.

Select the **Recording (if applicable)** option to enable audio recording.

## Keyboard

Enable **Redirect remote keyboard input** to allow keyboard input and events from remote applications to be sent to the currently active applications on the local device.

## **Local Devices and Resources**

**Clipboard**. Select this option to enable the clipboard in a remote session. Click the **Configure** button and choose clipboard redirection from one of the following: **Bidirectional** (allows to copy in both directions), **Server to client only**, and **Client to server only**. You can copy and paste content in plain text, RTF, and HTML formats.

**Smart cards**. Enables or disables smart card redirection to be used for authentication.

**Video capture devices.** Specifies video capture devices to redirect from a user device to the remote session. This is a high-level redirection that allows to redirect a composite USB device, such as a webcam with a microphone. When this option is selected and you click **Configure**, a dialog opens where you can select the following options:&#x20;

* **All** — use all currently connected devices will be used
* **Specific only** — use only the selected devices
* **Limit camera resolution to 720p** — limit camera resolution to save data
* **Use also devices that I plug in later** — a device that is plugged in after a session is started will also be used

**Folders.** Allows you to specify local folders to automatically mount in a remote session. Select the **Folders** option, then click the **Configure** button and add the desired folder(s) to the list. When you run a remote application, you will see these folders mounted in the "Drives on user's \<computer-name>" folder. Under the list of the added folders you can find the **Enable drive redirection cache** option that makes file browsing and navigation on the redirected drives much faster.
