Hi Antony, Can you please elaborate more on how you achieved that and what blocks open sourcing that solution?
I am convinced that a lot users would be interested as today users can remote access company resources but not really participate in video conferences via Guacamole.

Our users can get up to 60 fps video..... Even with very low specs on the rdp server. Our business model does not unfortunately, allow us to open source this extension. However, if this is of interest, we can license it to you....

The viewing of videos is where the problem lies. A 720p sample video viewed through Guacamole is very laggy and the audio pops in/out. It is not reliable. During video playback, all other mouse movements or commands are delayed on the server as well. I see on the server side when viewing a video that a guacd process spikes to 80-100%. We are also using Docker. 1. I assume Guacamole encodes the rdp and sends it as video in some way? Is there a way to use hardware accelertation such as intel vaapi/quicksync for this process and could it maybe help? 2. Is it believed Docker vs native would have any real difference in playing and streaming a video from an RDP session? Thank you. Steven T.
