Windows 10: Nested Webcam RDP Redirection

Hello,


I have created a VM on my Windows 10 machine and have been able to RDP into the VM and my hardware webcam passes into the VM through RDP well. The camera shows up in the VM Device Manager as 'Remote Desktop Camera devices' > 'HOST-PC - HD WebCam'.


Next, on the VM that I am RDP'd into, I open another remote desktop connection to another external PC. I am able to connect to this PC by RDP fine, but the Webcam object does not pass through from the VM to the external PC. When I check in the Remote Desktop Connection options, under the Local Resources tab, and click on 'More', I do not see the 'HOST-PC - HD WebCam' device listed under Video capture devices on the VM, even though it is listed in Device Manager.


Is there a way to get Windows to treat this redirected camera as a local camera so that it can be further redirected to a third machine?


Another way to ask my essential question - can you pass a camera through multiple nested RDP sessions?


Thanks for your assistance,


Aaron

Cortana and nest

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



At present, Cortana can
control your smart home devices such as

• Turn lights on or off
  
• Set the brightness of a light
  
• Control a group of lights
  
• Set the temperature
  
• Turn the thermostat up or down
  

I would suggest you to check with the Nest support team if the Nest Hello can be
configured to Cortana commands.

Local printers not redirecting in RDP connection

My client has a Windows 2011 Small Business Server using Active Directory. Due to COVID-19, they have enacted work from home measures. One of their employees is using RDP to connect to their office computer remotely. Their local computer is Windows 10 and
their remote computer is Windows 7 Professional. They are trying to print work they are working on in remote computer to their local printers. When setting up their RDP, I made sure to check Printers in local resources. Interestingly, one of the printer options
(fax) does redirect, but none of her others, which are networked printers using a WSD port.

They are using their AD credentials to establish the RDP connection to their remote computer.

I'm not sure if there is a setting or a driver that needs to be installed on either the remote computer or the Server. This has been an ongoing issue for more than one user at this organization, which suggests to me that there's some setting we are missing
or there is something that must be done on the Server.

 

How to redirect smart card trought RDP session

Hello,

What is the way to redirect smart card for digital signature during RDP session?
I tested several options without success. I am interested in a scenario in which the smart card reader is placed in the rdp client, but is used during the session in the rdp host.
I tried the versions with Windows 10 client and host and Windows 10 client with Windows server 2016 host.In GPO I disable prohibition rules for redirect of smart cards. I'm sorry for my bad English.
