Teams on AVD? Is it really this bad?
We have many AVD deployments mainly on E Series machines (E16asV4) (AMD) (16/128GB) and Teams on VDI is just embarrassing. I don't expect the VDI based Teams to be a 1:1 comparison, but the qual...
Whilst I agree, parity with the desktop product is frustrating (pop out chats, background blur (coming)) overall we have a reasonably good teams experience. I look after a 200 user hostpool of a bunch of D8as_v4 (8cpu/32Gb) - limit to 6 users per host as Teams can hit hard, but we have a pretty reliable experience. I presume you've looked at the network stats on your clients, and aren't using downlevel (Win7 for example) clients. Also when using AV Optimisation this can suffer on aging hardware, but really we're just after additional features - performance is good enough for daily calls. I use AVD over my corporate laptop.
Bear in mind that layering AVD on top of a corporate device, often with a VPN client, is asking for trouble. We've had user latency shoot through the roof on corporate devices as VPNs bounce you around to different Azure Front Doors. Its really for users at home on their <5 year old Windows 10 PC (imho)
