Description

On mRemoteNG Version 1.76.20.24615 with Windows 10 (x64), I can't join a web conference on a remote PC with a webcam or headset on a local PC.

This is possible with the Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Windows. It allows us to select the devices and resources on the local PC to use for the remote session, and there is also a choice of video capture device.

It would be very nice to be able to do that with mRemoteNG as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how mRemoteNG handles RDP connections and find where local device redirection settings can be added. Look at existing RDP settings UI and the underlying ActiveX control for Remote Desktop.
