Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS
What’s new in 2303
- Background blurring and effects in MS Teams optimization
Starting with the 2303 release, Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS supports background blurring and effects in Microsoft Teams optimization for video calls. You can either blur or replace the background effects provided by Microsoft Teams to avoid unexpected distractions by helping the conversation stay focused on the silhouette (body and face). This feature can be used with P2P and conference calls.
Note:
- This feature is disabled by default.
- This feature is now integrated with the Microsoft Teams UI. Multi-window support is a prerequisite that requires a VDA update to 2112 or higher. For more information, see [Multi-window meetings and chat](https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-chrome/about.html#multiwindow-chat-and-meetings-for-microsoft-teams).
- Plug and Play audio device support
- Previously, only a single audio playback and recording device was supported and displayed as Citrix HDX Audio irrespective of the real device name.
- Starting with the 2303 version, you can connect multiple audio devices and redirect them to VDA. When you redirect USB audio devices, you can now view the real name of the audio device under the Sound settings > Playback and Sound settings > Recording on the VDA. The list of devices on the VDA is dynamically updated whenever an audio device is plugged in or removed.
Note: By default, this feature is enabled.
For more information, see Plug and Play audio device support https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-chrome/configure.html#plug-and-play-audio-device-support.
