Similar to the optimized meeting experience, the VDI plugin offloads Zoom Phone media on select operating systems and virtual desktop agents. This creates a high-quality experience through a direct network connection to the plugin and processes the media on the local machine.

Prerequisites for Zoom Phone optimization

• Organizations using Citrix XenDesktop or VMware Horizon server published desktop, or Windows Remote Desktop
