Microsoft Teams video/audio calls
Depending on your setup you should be able to make this work. We had a similar issue where we were getting audio, but no mic. Check out this reply in another post: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-virtual-desktop/we-can-t-use-teams-microphone-and-video-when-we-have-a-meeting/m-p/887620/highlight/true#M1602
In our case, the fix was: running a single powershell command, waiting for the change to get propagated to our users, and then a simple disconnect/reconnect on their part. This worked even for our users with USB headsets. The command in our case (after you've already run Add-RdsAccount) was: Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName [wvdtenantname] -HostPoolName [hostpoolname] -CustomRdpProperty "audiocapturemode:i:1"
In the post I linked to, there is a link to Microsoft documentation for all of the RDS properties you can modify in this way. I haven't looked into redirecting cameras, but these properties may be of interest:
- camerastoredirect:s:value
- devicestoredirect:s:value
- encode redirected video capture:i:value
- redirected video capture encoding quality:i:value
Hi dbriles Thanks for the reply, I have executed the following commands in power shell.
Get-RdsHostPool -TenantName xyz-HostPoolName abc
$properties="redirectdrivers:i:1;audiocapturemode:i:1;camerastoredirect:s:*"
Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName xyz-HostPoolName abc-CustomRdpProperty $properties
Do you think this will work? I have actually executed this command yesterday morning but didn't check with the client.
So after doing this you guys are able to do video calls in Teams?

That looks like it could work, but like I said we only have experience with audio calls through WVD right now - no webcams. If you ran it yesterday and the client has since disconnected and reconnected, definitely get an update from them and see if it worked!
