Redirecting multimedia captured on a mobile device to a virtual desktop using image scanning
A system for multimedia redirection where a virtual desktop client device can utilize the multimedia accessories such as digital camera(s) and/or microphone(s) of nearby mobile devices by utilizing image scanning techniques. The mobile device contains a web browser and image scanning technology, such as a QR code reader. The mobile device scans a QR code displayed by the virtual desktop client device and establishes a connection with a web server on the virtual desktop client device. The multimedia stream captured by the multimedia accessories of the mobile device is streamed to the virtual desktop client device using the connection and is redirected by the virtual desktop client device to the virtual desktop. The virtual desktop client device may also redirect multimedia, such as an audio-out stream received from the virtual desktop, to the mobile device in order to playback audio using the speaker of the mobile device.
