Sharing audio and video device on a client endpoint device between local use and hosted virtual desktop use

摘要

A communication is established between a client device and a server device, where the server device executes one or more hosted virtual desktop (HVD) applications for the client device. A media data stream including at least one of audio content and video content is transmitted from the client device to the server device, where audio and video content of the media data stream is captured by one or more input devices at the client device and is utilized by an HVD application at the server device. In response to a request for the media data stream by a second application that is local to the client device or is operating at a remote device, transmission of the media data stream to the server device is selectively suspended or shared with the second application.

1. A method comprising:
establishing a communication between a client device and a server device that executes one or more hosted virtual desktop (HVD) applications for the client device; transmitting a media data stream comprising at least one of audio content and video content from the client device to the server device, wherein audio and video content of the media data stream is captured by one or more input devices at the client device and is utilized by an HVD application at the server device; in response to a request for the media data stream by a remote device, selectively suspending transmission of the media data stream to the server device to facilitate the client device engaging in a communication session with the remote device and providing the media data stream to the remote device for use by the remote device; and in response to terminating the communication session between the client device and the remote device, resuming transmission of the media data stream to the server device.
