The chat and collaboration experience works as expected. When media is needed, there are some experiences that might not meet user expectations on the Chrome browser:. If your organization wants to only use chat and collaboration features in Teams, you can set user-level policies to turn off calling and meeting functionality in Teams.

You can set policies by using the Teams admin center or PowerShell. It up to a few hours for the policy changes to propagate. If you don’t see changes for a given account immediately, try again in a few hours. Calling polices : Teams includes the built-in DisallowCalling calling policy, in which all calling features are turned off. Assign the DisallowCalling policy to all users in your organization who use Teams in a virtualized environment.

Meeting policies : Teams includes the built-in AllOff meeting policy, in which all meeting features are turned off. Assign the AllOff policy to all users in your organization who use Teams in a virtualized environment. To assign the DisallowCalling calling policy and the AllOff meeting policy to a user:. If you have an existing implementation of Teams on VDI with chat and collaboration in which you had set user-level policies to turn off calling and meeting functionality, and you’re migrating to Teams with AV optimization, you must set policies to turn on calling and meeting functionality for those Teams on VDI users.

You can use the Teams admin center or PowerShell to set and assign calling and meeting policies to your users. It can take some time a few hours for policy changes to propagate. If you don’t see changes for a given account immediately, try again after a few hours. Calling polices : Calling policies in Teams control which calling features are available to users.

Teams includes the built-in AllowCalling calling policy, in which all calling features are turned on. To turn on all calling features, assign the AllowCalling policy. Or, create a custom calling policy to turn on the calling features that you want and assign it to users. Meeting policies : Meeting policies in Teams control the types of meetings that users can create and the features that are available to meeting participants that are scheduled by users in your organization.

Teams includes the built-in AllOn meeting policy, in which all meeting features are turned on. To turn on all meeting features, assign the AllOn policy. Or, create a custom meeting policy to turn on the meeting features that you want and assign it users. To assign the AllowCalling calling policy and the AllOn meeting policy to a user:. When users connect from an unsupported endpoint, the users are in fallback mode, in which AV isn’t optimized. Teams media optimizations for redirecting audio and video during calls and meetings to a local macOS machine is now generally available.

To use this feature, you’ll need to update or install, at a minimum, version Users can now make meetings more personalized and avoid unexpected distractions by applying background effects. Meeting participants can select an available image in Teams to change their background or choose to blur their background. The multi-window feature gives users the option to pop out chats, meetings, calls, or documents into separate windows to streamline their workflow.

The “Call me with Teams” feature lets users transfer a Teams call to their phone. Both features are now generally available in Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop.

We’ve increased number of Azure Virtual Desktop application groups you can have on each Azure Active Directory tenant from to You can now automatically create trusted launch virtual machines through the host pool creation process instead of having to manually create and add them to a host pool after deployment.

To access this feature, select the Virtual machines tab while creating a host pool. Learn more at Trusted launch for Azure virtual machines. We’ve updated Azure Files to use a Kerberos protocol for Azure Active Directory that lets you secure folders in the file share to individual users. For more information, check out our blog post.

We’ve made some significant updates to improve the Azure Virtual Desktop pricing experience on the Azure pricing calculator, including the following:. For more information, see the pricing calculator.

This feature is for customers who need desktop virtualization for apps that have to stay on-premises for performance and data security reasons. We’re pleased to introduce the new autoscale feature, which lets you stop or start session hosts automatically based on a schedule you set.

Autoscale lets you optimize infrastructure costs by configuring your shared or pooled desktops to only charge for the resources you actually use. You can learn more about the autoscale feature by reading our documentation and watching our Azure Academy video. Your organization can now use the Azure Virtual Desktop starter kit to manage its robotic process automation RPA workloads.

Learn more by reading our documentation. We recently released new documentation about how to configure tags for Azure Virtual Desktop to track and manage costs. For more information, see Tag Azure Virtual Desktop resources. Azure Virtual Desktop support for Windows 11 is now generally available for single and multi-session deployments.

You can now use Windows 11 images when creating host pools in the Azure portal. RDP Shortpath establishes a direct connection between the Remote Desktop client and the session host. This direct connection reduces dependency on gateways, improves the connection’s reliability, and increases the bandwidth available for each user session.

If you’re using any code that depends on the change, then you’ll need to follow the directions in our blog post to address the issue. Autoscale for Azure Virtual Desktop is now in public preview.

This feature natively turns your virtual machines VMs in pooled host pools on or off based on availability needs. Scheduling when your VMs turn on and off optimizes deployment costs, and this feature also offers flexible scheduling options based on your needs. For more information, see Autoscale preview for Azure Virtual Desktop host pools.

You can now use Azure Resource Manager templates for any update you want to apply to your session hosts after deployment. You can access this feature by selecting the Virtual machines tab while creating a host pool. You can also now set host pool, app group, and workspace diagnostic settings while creating host pools instead of afterwards.

Configuring these settings during the host pool creation process also automatically sets up reporting data for Azure Virtual Desktop Insights. Azure Active Directory domain join is now generally available. For a dedicated persistent setup, both per-machine and per-user installation will work.

However, for a non-persistent setup, Teams requires a per-machine installation in order to work efficiently. See the Non-persistent setup section. With per-machine installation, automatic updates are disabled. This means that to update the Teams app, you must uninstall the current version to update to a newer version. With per-user installation, automatic updates are enabled. Keep the Teams desktop app in your VDI environment up to date. Teams desktop app versions with release dates that are more than 90 days older than the current version’s release date aren’t supported.

Unsupported Teams desktop app versions show a blocking page to users and request that they update their app. For most VDI deployments, we recommend you deploy Teams using per-machine installation. To update to the latest Teams version, start with the uninstall procedure followed by latest Teams version deployment.

For Teams AV optimization in VDI environments to work properly, the thin-client device must have access to the internet. If internet access isn’t available at the thin-client device, optimization startup won’t be successful.

This means that the user is in a non-optimized media state. In a dedicated persistent setup, users’ local operating system changes are retained after users log off.

For persistent setup, Teams supports both per-user and per-machine installation. In a non-persistent setup, users’ local operating system changes are not retained after users log off. Such setups are commonly shared multi-user sessions. VM configuration varies based on the number of users and available physical server resources.

For a non-persistent setup, the Teams desktop app must be installed per-machine to the golden image. This ensures an efficient launch of the Teams app during a user session. Using Teams in a non-persistent setup also requires a profile-caching manager for efficient Teams runtime data synchronization.

Efficient data synchronization ensures that the appropriate user-specific information such as a user’s data, profile, or settings is cached during the user’s session. Make sure data in these two folders are synced:. A roaming folder or, if you are using folder redirection, a caching manager is required to ensure that the Teams app has the runtime data and files required to run the application.

Successful insight into the performance of a company’s networks starts with effective network performance management NPM tools. However, with the plethora of options it can be overwhelming for IT teams to choose the right one. Here are 10 essential questions to ask before selecting an NPM tool Hybrid and remote work environments have been growing significantly in the past few years.

As individuals move away from traditional office settings in today’s new remote and hybrid environments, many operational issues such as poor visibility into asset status and refreshes, unaccounted assets, and overspending on software are becoming a bigger challenge for IT departments The last two years have accelerated massive changes in how we work, do business, and engage with customers.

Using Teams in a non-persistent setup also requires a profile-caching manager for efficient Teams runtime data synchronization.

Efficient data synchronization ensures that the appropriate user-specific information such as a user’s data, profile, or settings is cached during the user’s session.

Make sure data in these two folders are synced:. A roaming folder or, if you are using folder redirection, a caching manager is required to ensure that the Teams app has the runtime data and files required to run the application.

This is necessary to mitigate network latency issues or network glitches, which would otherwise cause application errors and a slow experience due to unavailable data and files. There are a variety of caching manager solutions available, such as FSLogix. Consult your caching manager provider for specific configuration instructions.

Excluding these items helps reduce the user caching size to further optimize your non-persistent setup. Before you deploy Teams through Microsoft Apps for enterprise, you must first uninstall any pre-existing Teams apps if they were deployed using per-machine installation. Teams through Microsoft Apps for enterprise is installed per-user.

Teams is also being added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps for enterprise. Microsoft Apps for enterprise doesn’t support per-machine installations of Teams. To use per-machine installation, you must exclude Teams from Microsoft Apps for enterprise. To learn more about Teams and Microsoft Apps for enterprise, see How to exclude Teams from new installations of Microsoft Apps for enterprise and Use Group Policy to control the installation of Teams.

At this point, the golden image setup is complete. This process adds a required registry key to the machine that lets the Teams installer know it is a VDI instance. Without it, the installer will error out, stating: “Installation has failed. Cannot install for all users when a VDI environment is not detected. All users can then uninstall Teams if they have admin credentials. PowerShell script : You can use the Teams deployment cleanup PowerShell script to uninstall Teams and remove the Teams folder for a user.

Run the script for each user profile in which Teams was installed on the computer. There are a variety of virtualized setup configurations, each with a different focus for optimization.

For example, a configuration might focus on user density. When planning, consider the following to help optimize your setup based on your organization’s workload needs. In addition to chat and collaboration, Teams on VDI with calling and meetings is available with supported virtualization provider platforms.

Supported features are based on the WebRTC media stack and virtualization provider implementation. The following diagram provides an overview of the architecture. If you currently run Teams without AV optimization in VDI and you use features that are not supported yet for optimization such as Give and take control when app sharing , you have to set virtualization provider policies to turn off Teams redirection. This means that Teams media sessions won’t be optimized. For steps on how to set policies to turn off Teams redirection, contact your virtualization provider.

We recommend that you evaluate your environment to identify any risks and requirements that can influence your overall cloud voice and video deployment. To learn more about how to prepare your network for Teams, see Prepare your organization’s network for Teams. The chat and collaboration experience works as expected.

To disable fallback mode, set the value to 1. This section will show you how to install the Teams desktop app on your Windows 10 or 11 Enterprise multi-session or Windows 10 or 11 Enterprise VM image.

From the start menu, run Registry Editor as an administrator. Create the Teams key if it doesn’t already exist. Alternatively, you can create the registry entry by running the following commands from an elevated PowerShell session:. To install the service:. You can deploy the Teams desktop app using a per-machine or per-user installation. To install Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop:. Download the Teams MSI package that matches your environment. We recommend using the bit installer on a bit operating system.

At this point, the golden image setup is complete. Installing Teams per-machine is required for non-persistent setups. The following table lists the differences between these two parameters.

We recommend you make sure to update Teams at least once a month. To learn more about deploying the Teams desktop app, check out Deploy the Teams desktop app to the VM. We recommend you use per-machine installation for better centralized management for both pooled and personal host pool setups.

Per-user installation only works on personal host pools. If your deployment uses pooled host pools, we recommend using per-machine installation instead. After installing the WebSocket Service and the Teams desktop app, follow these steps to verify that Teams media optimizations loaded:. If media optimizations loaded, the banner will show you Azure Virtual Desktop Media optimized.

If the banner shows you Azure Virtual Desktop Media not connected , quit the Teams app and try again. If media optimizations loaded, the audio devices and cameras available locally will be enumerated in the device menu.

If the menu shows Remote audio , quit the Teams app and try again. If the devices still don’t appear in the menu, check the Privacy settings on your local PC. Disconnect from the remote session, then reconnect and check the audio and video devices again.

 
 

Optimizing Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)

 
 

Ask a new question. The Remote Desktop client runs on a laptop connected to two monitors. Within the WVD when we try to share one desktop with Teams, we can’t. We don’t have the option to do this. As a result both screens are shared at the same time and the vjrtual can’t really see what we want to share as it’s too small with both screen shared. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn’t help. Thanks for your feedback.

The default behaviour without setting any policies is that users are able to share their screen. The problem is that as the Remote Desktop client is set to use both screens, when they need to share content, both screen are shared and they can’t choose to share only one.

After setting up a policy, the user still can’t choose which screen to share in Teams on the WVD. Microwoft there a solution for this yet? I have end user’s that are having this exact issue. I don’t think setting the policy in Teams management portal will make a difference.

Content sharing trams controls permissions from what it looks like. And the Display configuration basically tells the RDP client software where to azue the display. Nevertheless, they might work on this in a future release of the product.

For now, we have to set the settings with “single display” and work from there. Dom Annicette. Appreciate the response and feedback. I completely forgot to come back to this post! I was tezms around again today after one month, and saw that I posted something, and amd actually responded. Thanks for that. The only thing I have microslft so far is a work around, since there is no solution according to what you are telling me and what MS is читать you.

When you maximize xzure all of your displays, the rdp client spans across all of the displays. If you then share your screen from Teams, it will share all of the displays, as we know hence the reason for this post. Now, if you exit out of maximized mode, it will then auto rescale the screen share in Teams to only the single display. So if someone is presenting, they can use this as a workaround, but will have to only use the app on the single display for the time microsoft teams and azure virtual desktop – microsoft teams and azure virtual desktop.

By the way This is a complete nightmare for me. I just don’t get it. Hello Phoeunix1. Thanks for coming back to me. My end -users actually use this work-around to get their Teams shared. And to answer you question, I microsof have any mac users so far.

So I can’t really help you on this one. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community. Search the community and support articles Microsoft Teams Teams for business Search Community member. Is there взято отсюда way to have only one screen shared in this configuration?
