Mastering the Citrix VDI Plugin: Architecture, Optimization, and Unified Communications through the VDI host

The application (such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom) launches within the hosted VDI environment. A headless agent or API layer maps commands from the hosted app. It communicates with the local endpoint over a dedicated virtual channel, like CTXMTOP . This channel handles basic commands, such as clicking "Mute," changing status, or sending a chat message. 2. The Media Plane

Sending video data from an endpoint, through the VDI host, to a cloud service, and back introduces noticeable lag.
