Fernando_Klurfan- is safe to say this will also cover Windows 365 machines and be able to use Avatars now?

The following features aren't supported in either classic Teams or new Teams.

  • QoS
  • 1080p
  • Custom Backgrounds uploaded by users
  • Teams Premium features (End to End Encryption, Watermark, Premium Events aren't optimized, Custom meeting backgrounds for organizations)
  • Avatars
  • Gallery View 3x3 and 7x7
  • Noise Suppression
  • Zoom In / Out
  • Location Based Routing
  • Media Bypass
  • HID (Citrix only)
  • Share System Audio (Citrix and VMware)
  • Broadcast and live event producer and presenter roles
  • Cross cloud anonymous join in Government Clouds (GCC, GCC High and DoD)
