Connecting to work desktop (RDP I believe) using Jump on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.3.

I can hear the sound from my windows desktop that I am connecting to, but would like to be able to use work messaging client (Skype for Business) from home. Does Jump allow this functionality?

Thanks

Updated 2023: Jump Desktop for Mac supports microphone redirection when connecting to another Mac using the Fluid protocol.

--------------------

Hi - Jump currently doesn't support microphone redirection. We might add this in a future update.

Hi,

What is the status of this. Seems microphone redirection is still not supported.

Are there any plans to support it in the future?

Alexis, this is not yet supported. We don't have plans on supporting this in the near future (3-4 months out).

Hello, what is the status on Microphone? I would very much like to use this on iOS to a remote desktop to use Skype for Business and Teams.

Yes, I also want to have the microphone redirection.I've really expcted this and was supprised, that's not available.

As it is not available, I'm looking for another remote desktop alternative in the meantime.

Has this been fixed yet? RDP has the option to "Record from this computer". Does Jump Desktop remove this functionality?

@Jump Desktop Support, are you serious? Why this simple and so necessary thing does not work? I've bought this app to connect to my work windows desktop to talk to my clients and I can't use microphone. Please add this feature asap! We need microphone redirection a lot. What is the status? I really can't use this app and I'd never bought it if I knew that it does not work...

Like so many, I'm now working from home, and teleconferencing with co-workers throughout the day. Jump Desktop is my favorite, most reliable way to connect over VPN to my office workstation. But... when it comes time for a telecon, I have to disconnect Jump Desktop and connect with Microsoft Remote Desktop (and hope the screen doesn't freeze too quickly.)

Microphone passthrough is the only thing I miss with Jump Desktop, and it's become a key feature. I hope you guys can figure out a way to implement it soon!

Thanks.

Hello,

I am also another user that is shocked that Jump Desktop doesn't support microphone redirection. This is one of the reasons i purchased this tool and its not even an option. Please add this functionality, if i need to do a confrence i have to disconnect and reconnect with Microsoft RDP. Defeating the sole purpose of purchasing this product.

+1 This doesn't make sense. I need this for the same reasons above. Please add this feature.

I am in the same boat. I am working from home and find myself switching to MS RDP every time I have a meeting. I don’t like MS RDP but they have mic support which I need. You really need to add this feature.

@Jump Desktop Support

No microphone support? Really??

I just got this RDP app yesterday to simplify connections on my macbook pro (macOS Catalina 10.15.5) and on first conference call - no mic redirection from a Windows 10 box. Audio redirection is working though.

You guys really have to get this added to product. I don't see how this is NOT a high priority.

Really disappointed that Jump Desktop does not support microphone re-direction. In a time where a lot of people are currently working from home, remote desktop software is a vital tool many rely on to continue working. I really liked Jump Desktop, it seems fast, and more reliable than the Microsoft Remote Desktop client, but without microphone redirection I am unable to use it for work, as I need to be able to take calls using Microsoft Teams, and this makes that impossible. I am glad I only installed the free trial of this software, and certainly won't be buying a full licence.

@Jump Desktop Support

Last comment from Desktop was in 2018. Microsoft Remote Desktop supports microphone and both cameras. I have ditched Jump Desktop and its time to change their rating in the App Store. It’s the only way they would care to address this issue.

Happy Jump Desktop user for several years. However, support for microphone on my Mac to my machine at work is now vital. Please add this feature.

This feature is a must need, now more than ever. Can we at least get thrown a breadcrumb on whether it’s coming soon?

up @support. 4 years since the first request for this feature in this thread.

Fortunately, I went through this before buying. But I am convinced by the rest. I am waiting for this functionality before migrating.

+1 for headset support. RDP as a protocol supports it. Why block it?

Just bought the Ipad version and can't use my AirPods as a mic. Is this still not supported? If not, that's a bummer and I might have to seek a refund. I want to be able to work remotely and use Microsoft Teams to be able to share my screen while I speak with my colleagues at the same time. That works fine using windows rdp

Hi,

Unfortunately, this feature is currently not supported on iPad. However, our team is actively working on adding this feature.
