We can’t use Teams microphone and Video when we have a meeting through Windows Virtual Desktop.

Our company wants to install WVD, and we are doing some test of it, we found we can’t use Teams microphone and video when we have a meeting. We want to use the Teams microphone and video as we usual...

null null, if your devices aren't redirecting at all (Teams has no microphone or camera device available), please check and see whether you're setting the right camera and audio redirection properties: Supported Remote Desktop Properties .

We are making improvements to the Teams on WVD experience that will optimize audio and video streaming. These improvements will be documented when released.

null null, are you setting the camera property on your RDP connection:

camerastoredirect:s:value

Configures which cameras to redirect. This setting uses a semicolon-delimited list of KSCATEGORY_VIDEO_CAMERA interfaces of cameras enabled for redirection.

- * : Redirect all cameras
- One can exclude a specific camera by prepending the symbolic link string with "-", such as camerastoredirect:s:\?\usb#vid_0bda&pid_58b0&mi

This should enable camera redirection and enable Teams to capture video, unless you have applied configurations to your Teams deployment that disable video calling in the app itself.

Hey, can you please tell what troubleshooting you have done to make video/audio calls in Microsoft Teams work? I have used power shell commands to enable custom rdp properties.
$properties="redirectdrivers:i:1;audiocapturemode:i:1;camerastoredirect:s:*"
Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName abc -HostPoolName xyz -CustomRdpProperty $properties

  gadmin285 can you be a little more specific about the error you see in practice with Teams calling?

    Hi
    One of my customer is using WVD and he is using Microsoft Teams. He complained couple of days ago like "I have observed that while using Microsoft teams to make video/audio calls we are not able to access the mic nor the web cam. I get a error message saying there is no camera or microphone which is detectable."So, what I did is i recreated the scenario, I have host-pool used by two users. I enabled the custom RDP properties and executed the following commands in powershell.
    
    Get RdsHostPool -TenantName abc -HostpoolName xyz
    
    $properties="audiocapturemode:i:1;camerastoredirect:s:*"
    
    Set-RdsHostPool -TenantName abc -HostpoolName xyz -CustomRdpProperties $properties
    
    So I have two users. Userone & Userone both logging into WVD with a separate Windows 10 machine. We are using WVD client to access WVD environement. I have enabled remote desktop options in local machine,
    we have a voice call and its successfully and we had a video call it was successful.
    So i think it's working. Please share your opinions Neil_Hinnant
