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.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how mRemoteNG establishes remote sessions and handles local resources, then compare the requested webcam, headset, and video-capture choices with Microsoft Remote Desktop. Done means users can select local audio and video devices for a remote session.
