Using accurate audio/video synchronization - Amazon DCV

Note

This feature may produce a lag in the perceived responsiveness of the remote system.

Accurate Audio/Video Synchronization functionality is supported on Windows and Linux servers with hardware GPU acceleration, and for console sessions only. It is supported on all native clients.
