When IME is enabled Kasm is able to detect what and utilize IME in the Kasm Workspace.

1. There are two ways to enable IME mode in a Kasm session.

   1. Open the control panel on the left side of the Kasm Desktop Session using the three dots, select Configure, then enable IME Input Mode.

   2. There is a group setting *kasm_ime_mode_default_on* that when set to *true* will automatically enable IME mode for any user in the group when they start a Kasm session. For more information see `group settings <../guide/groups.html#group-settings>`_
