In the 6.0 version of Thinfinity® Desktop, you will find a completely revamped Web Profile Manager, in which you’ll be able to configure all aspects of your Access Profiles from within the browser itself, one of the newest features is the Bidirectional Audio Redirection.
This feature enables audio and microphone forwarding from your remote RDP desktop to your local computer. This allows Thinfinity to support softphones installed on the remote computer, desktop or web applications that require microphone and audio redirection. You can even make Teams or Zoom audio calls.
Note: This feature does not work if your site is hosted in HTTP protocol.

- Double-click on it and check the Enabled option, then hit Apply and OK on the next window
- Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator and type “gpupdate /force” to apply the policy changes:
- You are now able to open the Thinfinity Desktop landing page and edit a connection, by clicking on the pencil icon at the top-right of the access profile icon: On the Web Profile Manager, go to the Resources tab, where you can check the “Enable Remote Sound” option:
