As Cisco Webex VDI handles multimedia redirection but is not a standalone application, it cannot be used on its own. At least one of the following apps must be installed and configured as well:

  • Citrix Workspace app

  • Omnissa Horizon Client

If your users want to make audio and video calls with Cisco Webex, the following app must be installed:
