Webex App | VDI release notes
Webex App VDI plugin extends the Cisco collaboration experience to virtual deployments so that users can use the full messaging, meeting, and calling functionality that the Webex App provides. Webex App VDI is released every two months as a Hosted Virtual Desktop (HVD) installer and a thin client plugin. Webex App VDI and Webex Meeting VDI plugins are bundled together for Windows and Mac based thin clients.
Virtual desktop infrastructure
With VDI, instead of a traditional desktop, you have a thin client and a hosted virtual desktop.
A thin client is a typically less costly and less powerful device than a desktop computer. Your organization may even use older, less powerful PCs as thin clients. Your hosted virtual desktop resides in a central server location called a data center. Your hosted virtual desktop includes your
-
Microsoft Windows desktop
-
Applications (such as Webex App)
-
Data
Using your thin client, you access your hosted virtual desktop over a secure Citrix or VMware connection.
Webex App works with VDI. However, sending the additional data that audio and video calls require, through the hosted virtual desktops, causes communications delays. This limitation is called the "hairpin" effect.
Webex App on VDI
Without optimization, Webex App messaging works as-is in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment. However, the full Webex App experience also includes calling and meetings, which require video and audio media processing.
Because of a limitation known as the hairpin effect, calling, meeting, and accompanying video capability are not supported without optimization. The additional bandwidth required for calls and video creates a bottleneck at the data center because the media flows from one user to the data center back to another user. As a result of this unoptimized media path and the lack of easy access to peripherals such as device speakers, microphone, and camera, the user experience is not ideal.
To reduce latency and to enhance media quality, the VDI plugin optimizes the media workflows by streaming media directly between users on thin client endpoints and leverages the hardware of the thin client machines to handle media processing. This media path does not go through the hosted virtual desktops (HVDs). The result is a stable and full-featured calling and meeting experience for your VDI users.
In this architecture, the Webex App is installed on the HVD in your VDI environment and required VDI plugins are installed on the user's thin client (typically a lightweight system, like a repurposed laptop or desktop).
Using a supported Linux or Windows-based thin client, users access the Webex App on the HVD from a remote virtual desktop environment. With supported versions of Webex App, users can use all of the built-in messaging, meetings, and calling on Webex App functionality on their thin client. Additionally, you can integrate Webex App VDI with a Unified CM or Webex Calling environment, so that users can use supported call features. You can also deploy the full featured meetings experience by installing the Webex App Meetings VDI plugin.
Administrators
Administrators can refer to the Deployment Guide for Cisco Webex App for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for more information about what features are supported, how to prepare your environment, and how to deploy the Webex App VDI solution.
Installation engine for Windows
The installation engine is a crucial component that ensures the correct version of VDI plugins is installed automatically. When the VDI plugin autoupgrade is enabled, upon connecting to HVD, the installation engine establishes a virtual channel. It checks the Webex App version on HVD, downloads the latest VDI plugin version, and upgrades the VDI plugin on a thin client to the compatible version. This component can be installed independently using the installation engine installer.
Download the installation engine for Windows here.
Restart Webex after the VDI plugin is automatically updated.

Thin client operating system
eLux RP 6 2104 LSTR and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS End of Life announcement
eLux RP 6 2104 LSTR and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has reached its end-of-life. Vendors are no longer supporting these platforms. Starting with Webex App VDI and MC VDI version 43.10, users who have deployed Webex VDI plugins on these platforms won’t receive support and updates.
For eLux RP 6 2104 LSTR users, we recommend upgrading to eLux RP 6 2302 LSTR.
For Ubuntu 16.04 users, we recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 or higher.
Feature highlights
For new features for each release, see the Releases tab for more information.
-
Automatic upgrade of the Webex App on virtual desktop
-
Automatic upgrade of the VDI plugin on Windows or Mac thin clients
-
Fallback mode for VDI
-
Mobile and Remote Access (MRA)
-
Multiple monitors
-
Hardware acceleration and background noise reduction for Windows and Mac thin client
-
Virtual backgrounds for Windows, Mac, and Linux thin clients (Dell ThinOS and iGelOS), provided the devices meet the minimum system requirements.
The system requirements for Windows and Linux platforms are same as the Webex standalone app hosted on Windows.
The system requirements for Mac platforms are same as the Webex standalone app hosted on MacOS.
If you're using Webex App VDI in fallback mode or standalone mode, some peripheral devices may not work. Because the device mapping is handled by Citrix or VMware, you must contact them for further troubleshooting.
Fallback mode
Webex App VDI fallback mode offers short-term support for basic audio and video calls when VDI can't establish the virtual channel. Fallback mode supports standard calls and call recording. The full feature set isn't supported. Call quality is lower because of the server or network issues that cause the switch to fallback mode.
Webex App VDI supports backward compatibility: the latest Webex App VDI release supports the latest Webex App VDI plugin as well as four previous plugin releases (N-4).
While backwards compatibility is supported, we recommend that you and your users download the latest HVD installer and VDI thin client plugins from the Downloads tab.

Features in backward compatibility mode
When a release of Webex App is working with an earlier VDI plugin, the solution is running in backward compatibility mode. In this mode, Webex App for VDI supports all messaging features but only basic calling features. In this mode, Webex App VDI also cannot ensure the video quality because some advanced features are still under continuous development and improvement. See the following list of supported features for backward compatibility mode:
-
Phone service registration (on-premises)
-
Phone service registration (MRA)
-
Call forwarding
-
Deskphone Control (On-premises)
-
Audio and video calls
-
Hold
-
Transfer
-
Mute/Unmute audio
-
Mute/Unmute video
-
Desktop sharing
-
Device selection
-
Device volume control
-
In-call device switching
The Webex App for VDI environments supports most of the Webex App for Windows features, unless otherwise noted.
The Webex App for VDI environments follows a bi-monthly release schedule, whereas the standalone Webex App for Windows is released monthly. Because of this difference in release schedule, the VDI version of the app does not include features that are released for the standalone version in the odd month. When the VDI version is released in the even month, it catches up on any missed features from the previous month.
Due to a mandatory update to our services, you won't be able to sign in using the following versions of Webex App (installed on the Windows-based HVD) from the following date:
-
July 31, 2021 for all versions up to (but not including) 41.1.0.17740
You must uninstall the app manually in the Windows Control Panel and optionally you can clear the cache. Download the latest Webex App HVD installer from the Downloads tab and install the MSI using the steps in Configure Hosted Virtual Desktop in Webex.
See the following sections for each release for a list of new features specific to VDI and limitations for that specific release.

Severity Level |
Description |
---|---|
1 Catastrophic |
Reasonably common circumstances cause the entire system to fail, or a major subsystem to stop working, or other devices on the network to be disrupted. No workarounds exist. |
2 Severe |
Important functions are unusable and workarounds do not exist. Other functions and the rest of the network is operating normally. |
3 Moderate |
Failures occur in unusual circumstances, or minor features do not work at all, or other failures occur but low-impact workarounds exist. This is the highest level for documentation bugs. |
4 Minor |
Failures occur under very unusual circumstances, but operation essentially recovers without intervention. Users do not need to install any workarounds and performance impact is tolerable. |
5 Cosmetic |
Defects do not cause any detrimental effect on system functionality. |
6 Enhancement |
Requests for new functionality or feature improvements. |
