Vmware Client View For Mac

Welcome to the VMware Horizon® Client™ for Mac documentation page. The documents on this page are designed to help you install, configure, and use Horizon Client on a Mac.

To find the release notes, user guide, and installation and setup guide for your Horizon Client for Mac version, locate the version in the table of contents on the left and expand the heading.

I am using version 3.0 of VMware Horizon View Client for Mac OS X. I typically run it in full screen mode on a secondary external monitor. Every time I get a popup from another Mac program like reminder, iMessage, even timeout notification in browser, the VMWare screen goes blank (white). VMware Horizon Clients for Windows, Mac, iOS, Linux, Chrome and Android allow you to connect to your VMware Horizon virtual desktop from your device of choice giving you on-the-go access from any location.

2010 Filed in your Linux Mac 10. VMware Horizon Client is a free and cross-platform application which allows you to connect to your VMware Horizon View virtual desktop from your macOS computer. Normally stored on a USB drive, these installations put the power of Kali Linux in your pocket, ready to launch whenever you need it.

As we approach the holidays, the VMware View client team is pleased to release FOUR new clients to end 2011! That’s right, FOUR new clients for VMware View are here for the VMware View community:

  • Tech Preview of the View Client with PCoIP for Mac OS X
  • Tech Preview of the View Client with PCoIP for Linux
  • VMware View Client 1.3 for iPad
  • VMware View Client 1.3 for Android


View Client with PCoIP for Mac OS X
First, the VMware View Client with PCoIP for Mac OS X is here! This has been the number one request from customers all year and we are really excited by the new Mac OS X client. Built from the ground up for the Mac, it designed to give you the best possible user experience with PCoIP.

Start with a drag and drop install like you expect from all great Mac apps.

Followed by a really easy to use app that makes it simple to get up and running.

View Client with PCoIP for Linux
Next, we have a new VMware View Client with PCoIP for Linux. Making it easy to install, it will soon be available in the Ubuntu Software Center (a little later this month). Just launch the Ubuntu Software Center and search for VMware View to download and install the VMware View client.

The new Linux client has a really simple user interface to get up and running.


VMware View Client for iPad
The VMware View Client for iPad is now at version 1.3. We have been doing a lot of great work on the iPad this year and we close the year with a great new release that now supports up to 1080p video out.

Combine the new 1080p video out feature with the Presentation Mode feature we introduced in the 1.2 client and you can connect your iPad to your TV and get a 1920×1080 Windows desktop right in your living room. Check out what I did the last night with my TV!

VMware View Client for Android
Last but not least, we have our new VMware View Client for Android. We have spent a lot of time on the Android client to help provide a better user experience whether you are using a low resolution Android device or the latest Honeycomb tablets.

Taking advantage of the action bar on Honeycomb tablets, we can provide a more discoverable way to take advantage of the great features in Android client.

In addition to the user interface improvements for the Android client, we are making it easier to get on popular devices. In addition to the Google’s Android Marketplace and Cisco’s AppHQ, the VMware View Client for Android will soon be available in the Amazon Appstore for Android. Watch this blog for updates! This will make it easy for Amazon Kindle Fire users to download the VMware View Client and use it on their Kindle Fire like I have been doing for weeks now!
