New upgrades to multimedia redirection (MMR) on Windows 365 are now available in public preview. These updates enable your users to enjoy a smoother video playback experience while watching videos in the Windows 365 browser. These updates provide users with access to more media controls and also allow MMR to work on additional websites, such as Facebook, IMBD, YouTube, and Fox Sports.

Both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome support the new multimedia redirection video upgrades.

Getting started

To enjoy the new multimedia redirection upgrades, the latest MSI installer is required. Please refer to our Multimedia redirection for Windows 365 documentation for guidance on how to set up Multimedia Redirection.  

For a list of known websites that work with MMR by default, click here.

Multimedia Redirection upgrades are also available on Azure Virtual Desktop. For more information, see the Azure Virtual Desktop Blog.

    Should this be available for Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs or is it only for Enterprise currently? Can't seem to get it working on Windows 365 Business 4vCPU/8GB RAM

     

    EDIT: It does indeed work for business SKU, even though the version number for insider and release ring for MSRDC are the same, you still need to enable insider ring for MMR to work - For me, right now it just shows a grey box no matter what so I understand why some features are still locked to insider.
