No Microphone and Camera redirection support in WVD clients
"Windows Virtual Desktop does not officially support Skype for Business and Teams."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-customize-master-image
Will it work, even without being supported as it is in preview?
Is this because of the deployment method of the Teams app (buried deep in the user profile) or because the microphone and camera redirection is not working in the HTML5 client and the new Remote Desktop client?
I can imagine that the multi user Virtual Desktop with O365 experience, but without all the communication apps (Skype / Teams) is less useful than anticipated. Is there a timeline when this will be added to the setup?

I find this unbelievable that there is no support for SFB and Team in the offering. Its a vital part of O365. The way teams installs under a local profile is likely to make this even harder to get working in the future either on a multisession W10 desktop or as a remoteapp.

HandA Note Teams generally does not (yet) support VDI, this is not limited to WVD. General support for Teams in VDI was announced recently: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/What-s-new-in-Microsoft-Teams-the-Enterprise-Connect-feature/ba-p/376255
Historically also SfB only supported real-time communication in VDI in combination with Citrix HDX, similar above mentioned blog also mentions that the Teams team is looking into this scenario.
- Stefan GeorgievMicrosoftWe cannot make any statement different than the one posted in the official document. However nothing stops you from trying.
- Stefan GeorgievMicrosoftFYI - Some client (like installable out of box) may work better than other HTml5

Stefan Georgiev, seeing that no native RDP apps are support (or working in my case) I will just have to wait until Microphone support is added I guess:
"Don't use RemoteApp and Desktop Connections (RADC) or Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC) to access Windows Virtual Desktop resources because Windows Virtual Desktop doesn't support either client."
