Windows Virtual Desktop - Teams and Skype

Hello Everyone,

 

I am looking for any tips that will allow me to install and use Teams and Skype for Business on Azure Windows Virtual Desktop? Is this available?

 

Currently after installation apps do not see microphone or camera - web browser is not asking me about permissions for microphone and camera.

 

Regards,

Wojciech

        Hey wtms,

         

        It is working perfect. I am amazed of the sound quality. There is practiclly no delay in the conversation.

        On the tenent level you will have to run the following commands to redirect the voice and possibly camera if you want to the end user host:

         

        1. Connect to the VDI:

        Add-RdsAccount -DeploymentUrl "https://rdbroker.wvd.microsoft.com"

        2. Set the options on your Host Pool:

        $properties="<property1>;<property2>;<property3>"
Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName <tenantname> -Name <hostpoolname> -CustomRdpProperty $properties

        For the properties please use the following:

        audiocapturemode:i:1

        audiomode:i:0

         

        Here are the links to the documentation:

        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/customize-rdp-properties
