Webcam at remote workstations connected via Citrix Workspace

[Maksim-Garikov]

Hello everyone!
I am trying to forward a webcam to a remote workstation, which I connect to via Citrix Workspace. The sound and microphone work perfectly, but I still can't forward the webcam.
In thinstation.conf.buildtime, I added the parameters for Citrix that are recommended on the official Citrix website:
ICA_WFCLIENT_AllowAudioInput=True
ICA_WFCLIENT_HDXWebCamDevice=True
ICA_WFCLIENT_HDXH264InputEnabled=True

I also installed the gstreamer package as recommended in the Citrix Workspace documentation. However, the video still doesn't work.
If anyone has experience, please provide recommendations for forwarding the webcam to the remote workstation.

Maybe an allmodules build is required to make sure that the modules needed for the webcam are included?

@Thinstation, hello!

The build is allmodules. After loading, I check the sound, microphone, and video camera on webcamtests.com. All devices work. But when connecting to a remote workstation via Citrix Workspace, the microphone and sound work, but the video camera does not.

Are there any clues in the logs?

[Maksim-Garikov]

In the /var/log/citrix folder, logs are missing. I tried to follow the instructions for starting log recording, but it was unsuccessful (https://help-docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app/linux/logs.html). Do I need to build a new image with added parameters for Citrix Workspace for the logs to start recording?

[Thinstation]

Possibly. It depends on where Citrix tries to store the config changes. It might be necessary to put them in the image config, so that they are active from the first launch. I don't have a lab where I could test citrix, so I can't provide a lot of specific help with that product.

In the directory ${HOME}/.ICAClient/logs/, the ICAClient.log file is also missing, which could have been analyzed. I will try to create a new image and enable ICAclient logging.
