The remote desktops and client systems on which you install the agent and client software must meet certain requirements to support the Browser Content Redirection feature.

With Browser Content Redirection, when an end user opens a website in the Chrome browser in a remote desktop, the web page is rendered on the client system instead of the agent system, and it is displayed over the remote browser's viewport. The viewport is the portion of the browser window that contains the content of the web page.
