Thanks for getting this over the line, Pop out windows now has appeared, but background blur, whilst showing in the sidebar, does nothing when I click 'apply'. Same for the other background effects. Anyone else had this? If people see the feature and it doesnt work, it will cause more support tickets than if it wasn't there in the first place.

Thanks for the feedback. We found and fixed an issue late last week during the Background Effects rollout that effected a portion of the population. The fix is already rolling out and should be 100% by end of week. The fix is on the backend so there is nothing for the user to install. If you still cannot use Background Effects by end of week (5/27), do let us know. We are here to help.

    Yun_Liu this is now working for me so the fix must have rolled out.

    Brilliant to finally have this feature in AVD. Caused a lot of issues with our user base that the feature was missing.

     

    Also, the multi-window support is another great plus!

      @Yun_Liu Is support for Background Blur on WVD media optimized session hosts on the horizon or is this not even on the roadmap?

       

      Thanks
