Webcam support is available at no additional charge on WorkSpaces Windows desktops using the WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol (WSP). WSP is a cloud-native streaming protocol that enables a consistent user experience when your end users are accessing their WorkSpaces across global distances and unreliable networks. To learn more, see Amazon WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol.
WorkSpaces using the WSP protocol are available in commercial AWS Regions in which Amazon WorkSpaces is available today as well as in AWS GovCloud (US-West). The WorkSpaces client applications for Windows and macOS support webcams.
