Mute / Unmute Sound

The Mute / Unmute Sound button toggles whether sound from the application is streamed to the end user device.

Modern browsers require that the HTML5 client starts with muted sound that must be unmuted by a user action, such as clicking the unmute sound button.

Files

The Files button opens the file transfer dialog allowing users to transfer files between their computer and the application session.

This feature requires that the workspace settings for the application are configured to use Merge for File Isolation or have Access Local User Folders set to Enabled.

For a better user experience, we recommend using Turbo Drive integrations for user document storage instead.

The Printer Jobs button opens the Virtual Printer dialog where you can download documents printed to the Virtual Printer from the application session.

Power

The Power button allows the user to disconnect or close the session.

  • Disconnect: Disconnects any connected client from the cloud session. The session may be reconnected by launching again via any cloud option.
    Note that if the administrator has configured the session to log off immediately on disconnect, then the application may have to be relaunched from scratch.
  • Close: Closes the application and logs off the user from the cloud session. The application must be relaunched and unsaved work may be lost.
