Thanks for the Info,
looking at the code, it seems support for running the streaming agent on windows is not yet implemented, is there a blocker to this? (excluding the build scripts, etc)

Hi,
It is possible to configure a VM with a hardware GPU (either assign the
whole
device to the VM or a part of it).
That is helpful for running, on the guest, applications that require such
strong GPU (e.g. 3D graphics).
When that is the case, spice-streaming-agent can use the GPU
on the guest
to stream video (encode the screenbuffer and send it).
This is what spice-streaming-agent does and it indeed leads to less
bandwidth used.
Uri.
