The Anyware Software Client for Linux now supports USB webcams when connecting to a Anyware Agent for Windows. USB webcams can now be used while in the remote desktop, including with applications such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

For detailed information which models have been tested and the performance metrics associated with these models see here. This knowledge base article also deals steps on how to test and verify other webcam models.

As of 21.07, this feature is enabled by default.

About the Anyware Client SDK for Linux

The Client SDK for Linux does not ship with its own session client binary; it uses the standard Anyware Software Client for Linux binary instead. Therefore, you must first download and install the Anyware client application, and then invoke it from the SDK.

If you need to support more than 20 USB devices, or if you expect your users to control which devices can be bridged, they can be manually added by opening the client’s USB Devices menu and enabling them.
