Sharing Remote Desktop Sessions

With the Session Collaboration feature, you can invite other users to join an existing remote desktop session. A remote desktop session that is shared in this way is called a collaborative session. The user that shares a session with another user is called the session owner, and the user that joins a shared session is called a session collaborator.

A Horizon administrator must enable the Session Collaboration feature.

For Windows desktops, this task includes enabling the Session Collaboration feature at the desktop pool or farm level. It can also include using group policies to configure Session Collaboration features, such as the available invitation methods. For complete requirements, see System Requirements for the Session Collaboration Feature.

For information about enabling the Session Collaboration feature for Windows desktops, see the Setting Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon document. For information about enabling the Session Collaboration feature for a farm, see the Setting Up Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon document. For information about using group policy settings to configure the Session Collaboration feature, see the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon document.

For information about enabling the Session Collaboration feature for Linux desktops, see the Setting Up Linux Desktops in Horizon document.
