System Requirements for Skype for Business

An end user can run Skype for Business inside a virtual desktop without negatively affecting the virtual infrastructure and overloading the network. During Skype audio and video calls, all media processing takes place on the client machine instead of in the virtual desktop.

To use this feature, you must install the VMware Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business feature on the client machine during the Horizon Client for Linux installation. For information, see Installation Options.

An administrator must also install the VMware Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business feature on the virtual desktop when Horizon Agent is installed. For information about installing Horizon Agent, see the Windows Desktops and Applications in Horizon 8 document.

For complete requirements, see "Configure Skype for Business" in the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.
