Audio recording for non-optimized HDX audio (preview)
You can now enable audio recording for non-optimized HDX audio when configuring session recording policies. The audio that is handled on the VDA and delivered to/from the client where the Citrix Workspace app is installed is referred to as non-optimized HDX audio. Unlike non-optimized HDX audio, optimized HDX audio has its processing offloaded to the client, as seen in the Browser Content Redirection (BCR) and Optimization for Microsoft Teams scenarios.
For information about enabling audio recording, seeConfigure session recording policies.
Fast seeking through ICA screen recording
You can now enable fast seeking through ICA screen recording by configuring how often an I-Frame is generated. This feature significantly improves the playback seeking experience. For more information, seeEnable fast seeking.
Lossy video codec renamed to lossy screen recording
The lossy video codec feature has been renamed lossy screen recording, and its toggle switch is moved from theSession Recording Agent Propertiesto the Session Recording policy console.
You can now enable lossy screen recording in any of the following ways:
- Activate a system-defined session recording policy that has lossy screen recording enabled.
- Create and activate a custom session recording policy, and make sure to selectEnable lossy screen recordingwhen creating the custom policy.
- SelectEnable lossy screen recordingwhen configuring an event response policy. When a monitored event is detected later, lossy screen recording is triggered.
After you enable lossy screen recording, you can adjust compression options through theLossy Screentab of Session Recording Agent Properties.

Ability to close unresponsive or dormant live recordings
Previously, a live recording was considered unresponsive or dormant if no new data was written to the recording file for 48 hours. Unresponsive live recordings could not be closed. Starting with this release, you can configure this time threshold on theStoragetab ofSession Recording Server Propertiesto close unresponsive or dormant live recordings automatically when the threshold is exceeded. You can also manually close unresponsive or dormant live recordings by using theICLDB DORMANTcommand. For more information, seeManage recordings.

You can now append the FILEID parameter when using theICLDB ARCHIVE,ICLDB REMOVE, andICLDB DORMANTcommands to manipulate a specific session recording file. You can also append the CLOSEFILES parameter when using theICLDB DORMANTcommand to manually close unresponsive or dormant live recordings. For more information, seeManage recordings.
