Overlap issue on Zoom VDI while in VMWare Horizon Client in full screen mode Macbook Pro M1

Jhay-ar — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 01:57:32 GMT

When I opened the Zoom app inside the VMWare Horizon Client (full screen mode) the video overlaps the buttons at the bottom of the screen like the "Mute/Unmute", "Video" etc. But when I am in window mode, there is no overlapping with the Video and the buttons. I need to use VMware Horizon in full screen mode since I need multiple display at work.

I am using a Macbook Pro M1. My VMWare Horizon client current Version 2206 Build 8.6.0 (20094589)

Has anyone experienced the same issue and a have solution?

Thanks for your reply. I did the steps you advised it worked outside VMWare Horizon Client but when I am logged in VMWare Horizon Client, the fonts and pictures still appears blurry or kind of distorted.

While searching for a solution in the internet. I did find a third party app solution. I downloaded BetterDisplay (https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay)

1. I set my secondary monitor as my Main Display

2. Open BetterDisplay Application

3. Navigate to Create New Dummy > Create and Configure "Name of your secondary display"

4. Then, Connect and Setup Mirroring

5. Open VMWare Horizon Client in full screen mode.

After performing these steps, the issue with the blurry fonts and distorted pictures got solved.

For now, I am still using the trial version of BetterDisplay. But I really do hope VMware gets this fixed.

VMWare Horizon scaling issue with secondary monitor when in full screen mode. Using MacBook Pro m1.

I am using a MacBook Pro m1 and a 1980x1080 secondary monitor. The screen in my MBP is fine whether it is in full screen or window mode. I experience the scaling issue with my secondary (extended) monitor only when I am at full screen mode.

Can anyone help me how to fix or is there a workaround on this? I was hoping to use 2 monitors while working with VMWare horizon but this scaling issue makes it so hard.

Thanks & Best Regards.

I have the same issue with my MacBook Pro M1. My extended(secondary) monitor is experiencing scaling issue when I'm in full screen mode.
