MicrosoftBackground blur in GA on Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365
UPDATE on 6/29:
If you do not see the UI for Background Effects in Teams on AVD, install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable on your client machine running the Remote Desktop app and tr...
Thanks, Yun_Liu - I believe the question is if the Background Blur feature will be supported on an AVD environment that has already been configured with Media Optimizations.
We are trying to determine if we should now disable media optimizations for our clients to allow users to be able to use Background Blur. If you don't anticipate Background Blur supporting AVD session hosts with Media Optimization in the near future, we will start testing disabling media optimizations to see if end user experience suffers at all.
Thank you

Hi,
Not really sure what you mean?
This feature is for AVD clients. What are you talking about disabling media optimisation to allow background blur?
In order to properly use Teams on AVD you have to have media optimisation. This latest update enables multi-window support and also the background effects.
I think you are really over complicating this.

Kompressor Thanks for bringing this up. I have requested to update the article (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-your-background-for-a-teams-meeting-f77a2381-443a-...)
Jamesatighe is correct. Background effects is supported on Teams on AVD with media optimization.
- Hi,
I understand this but they commented under the main post about enabling it in AVD so it’s a bit of a moot point.
They even ignored Yun-Liu’s comment that is was supported.
It 100% works on AVD team with media optimization. I guessing they will remove (or update the main background effect doc page at some point) - James,
This is where the confusion originated.
The article here (which was linked in a previous post) has not been updated: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-your-background-for-a-teams-meeting-f77a2381-443a-499d-825e-509a140f4780
You can see on the bottom it states "Background effects won't be available to you if you're using Teams through optimized virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)."
Also, an MSI link in the bulk deployment page has not been updated yet.
