The result? The server thinks it is handling the meeting, but the user’s thin client (or repurposed PC) does the heavy lifting of video decoding.

Users often plug in different headsets, cameras, or microphones at different locations.

The introduces dynamic "Contextual Profiles." It detects the physical endpoint ID, network conditions, and available peripherals to instantly reconfigure the Zoom VDI session for optimal performance and ergonomics without user intervention.

Enterprises are deploying Zoom VDI not for cost savings, but for specific operational wins. Here is how it functions in the wild:
