If you encounter an installation error, install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and try again. Install the latest version of the Remote Desktop WebRTC Redirector Service on your VM image. Create the Teams key if it doesn't already exist.Ĭreate the following value for the Teams key: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams. To enable media optimization for Teams, set the following registry key on the host:įrom the start menu, run RegEdit as an administrator.

This section will show you how to install the Teams desktop app on your Windows 10/11 Multi-session or Windows 10/11 Enterprise VM image.
Install the Remote Desktop client on a Windows 10 or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise device that meets the Microsoft Teams hardware requirements for Teams.Prepare your network for Microsoft Teams.Prerequisitesīefore you can use Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop, you'll need to do these things: To redirect local devices in your remote session, check out Customize Remote Desktop Protocol properties for a host pool. Teams chat and collaboration features are supported on all platforms. You can still use Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop with other clients without optimized calling and meetings. With media optimization for Microsoft Teams, the Remote Desktop client handles audio and video locally for Teams calls and meetings. To learn more about how to use Microsoft Teams in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments, see Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure.
With media optimizations, it also supports calling and meeting functionality. Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop supports chat and collaboration. But this is macos limitation.See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
Also annoying is that control left/right arrow to move cursor is not possible as macos intercepts it for switching between full screen apps. No stars off from this, but it would be nice if modifier key remapping was possible, as control/option/start button/alt are in annoying places. Probably also due to the scaling is image being blurry in some cases. Sometimes DPI is messed up and Windows target shows massive fonts, but if I exit and re-enter full screen it will resolve. I suspect this is the issue with the slowness, that both sides cannot agree consistently on DPI and resolution settings so there is a lot of scaling going on on both sides. Setting up resolution too a lot of manipulating with choosing "optimize for retina" vs. All 3 are using 4k resolution (at 4k though even Windows RDP client has some noticeable lag but nothing compared to macos RDP client). Using Windows 10 RDP client to same Windows 10 target on same network is dramatically faster. Connecting to a local Windows 10 machine over 1 gbps Ethernet has very noticeable lag and low framerate. MacOS version works but has horrible peformance compared to the Windows version. Also, while I appreciate the option that allows the Apple key to be interchangable with ctrl for edit operations and find, it doesn't seem to work consistently, and as everyone who has ever switched back and forth between the Mac and Windows knows, confusion over which meta key to use in editing will eventually cause brain damage and is likely to send hardware on ballistic journeys through windows (not Windows). So properly-speaking, this probably a complaint about the service and not the client app, but the entire eco-system is failing me in small ways. Now, I'm sure there really IS such a way, but the internet is not my friend in helping me find it. Since there are some operations that cannot be performed via RDP - attaching to a VPN being one of them - it would be nice if I could just leave the PC logged in and operate it via Remote Desktop at the same time. This works reasonable well except that the Remote Desktop Service on the PC requires that I can only be logged in either via the Remote Desktop app OR the PC itself. I don't want to keep changing physical keyboards, so despite the fact that the two physical machines are next to eachother beneath my desk, I use remote desktop to view and operate the PC while working on the Mac. I have a specific usage case - I work in a multiplatform environment in which I work on the Mac and on the PC.
