Enterprises must deliver effective IT capabilities that meet the requirements of a wide variety of worker personas. And in this hybrid era, the need for employees to be able to get work done from anywhere and on any device has never been greater. For example, a nurse, a trader, a security admin, or an executive might need to get bits of work done on the go, and then later connect that same device to external peripherals so they can focus on more complex, detailed work.

To support the evolving needs of employees, admins need a solution that can provide a reliable desktop experience to users while ensuring their corporate data stays secure always. This is where Citrix Workspace app on Android tablets can help! It can easily play the role of a thin client device while providing users with ease of mobility. Read our recent blog post to learn more about how organizations leverage mobility to empower employees as IT evolves to support new business-critical use cases.

Citrix has worked closely with Samsung to improve the experience on DeX-compatible devices. With Citrix Workspace app for Android 22.9.0, customers can extend their desktop sessions from their Android device to an external monitor. By connecting the tablet to an external monitor and mouse, users can easily create a full-scale workstation that supports simultaneous work on the two available screens. And configuring the display that works best for you is simple.

How to Configure Extended Display

  1. Connect a Samsung DeX compatible device to an external monitor.
  2. Open Citrix Workspace app and initiate a desktop session from the Samsung DeX screen.
  3. Navigate to the toolbar and tap the Extend icon, shown here:
  4. Use the drag-and-drop feature to move the app window to the external monitor.
