Main Menu Options

To open the Parallels HTML5 Client main menu, click or tap the "person" icon in the upper-right. You can select from the menu options described below.

Settings

Allows you to configure the following settings:

• Sound: To play the sound on the local computer, select the Bring to this computer option. If sound is not supported by your browser, the menu will be disabled and you'll see a corresponding text message below it.
• Remote audio recording: Enables or disable the sound input redirection from the local computer to the remote application. For example, if you would like to use a microphone in Skype or a similar app for teleconferencing, you need to enable audio recording in Parallels HTML5 client. Select Record from this computer to enable recording or select Do not record to disable it.

  Note: Audio input is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari 11. If your browser doesn't support audio input, this setting will be disabled and you will see a text message instead.

• Redirect Links: Select a desired redirection option from the following: Do no redirect, Redirect URLs, Redirect email, Redirect all. When redirection is enabled, a link will be opened on the local computer.
• Redirect Printers: Select a printer redirection option: RAS Universal Printer (uses the RAS Universal Printing technology) or Do not redirect (printers will not be redirected).
• Keyboard Mode: Select Universal Keyboard or PC Keyboard. If you have problems typing certain characters, try selecting PC Keyboard and then selecting a proper layout in the Keyboard Layout drop-down list (see below).
• Keyboard Layout: Select a keyboard layout (e.g. English (US), English (UK), Japanese). To enable this drop-down list, the Keyboard Mode option must be set to PC Keyboard.
• Auto login: Enable or disable auto login in HTML5 Client. If this option is on, and the user credentials have been saved before, the user will not have to enter them again. This option may not be available if a Client Policy was applied where this option is turned off. Note that the auto login option is supported on the latest Chromium-based browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. For more information, please see Auto Login.
• Connection Timeout: Specify the connection timeout.
• MFA: Remember last method used: If using multi-factor authentication, enable this option so the last method used is remembered and used by default.

Change Password

Allows the user to remotely change their domain password. When the password is being changed, the password requirements are displayed on the screen, so the user can follow them for the new password to be accepted. This option can be disabled through Client Policies (Control settings > Password > Prohibit changing password).

Detect Client
