Drawing Tablets
Drawing tablets, also known as pen tablets, are computer input devices that let users draw with a stylus (pen). With AppStream 2.0, your users can connect a drawing tablet, such as a Wacom drawing tablet, to their local computer and use the tablet with their streaming applications.
Following are requirements and considerations for enabling your users to use drawing tablets with their streaming applications.
To enable your users to use this feature, you must configure your AppStream 2.0 fleet to use an image that runs Windows Server 2019.
To use this feature, users must access AppStream 2.0 by using the AppStream 2.0 client, or through the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers only.
Streaming applications must support Windows Ink technology. For more information, see Pen interactions and Windows Ink in Windows apps
. Some applications, such GIMP, must detect drawing tablets on the streaming instance to support pressure sensitivity. If this is the case, your users must use the AppStream 2.0 client to access AppStream 2.0 and stream these applications. In addition, you must qualify your users' drawing tablets, and users must share their drawing tablets with AppStream 2.0 every time they start a new streaming session. For more information, see Qualify USB Devices for Use with Streaming Applications.
This feature is not supported on Chromebooks.
To get started with using drawing tablets during application streaming sessions, users connect their drawing tablet to their local computer with USB, share the device with AppStream 2.0 if required for pressure sensitivity detection, and then use the AppStream 2.0 client or a supported web browser to start an AppStream 2.0 streaming session.
