Background

Receiver for Chrome provides USB Redirection to allow users to access to few USB devices in virtual XenDesktop sessions.

This feature enables users to connect USB devices to the Chrome device and use them inside the Citrix session. The devices that are claimed by the Chrome OS are not available to the Chrome packaged app, for example: USB flash drives, webcam and headset are not redirected to the Citrix session.

Enabling USB Redirection

Enabling USB device redirection requires the following steps to be performed:

1. Enable policy for USB Device Redirection on Domain Controller.

2. Whitelist VID: PID of the device by navigating to Google admin console and under Device management > Chrome management> Device settings, here you will find the text box for USB Detachable Whitelist, add VID: PID converted in Hex here.

Steps to White list USB Device list to be attached
