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 usually used at the client PC.

We think to have a meeting through Teams with Microphone and video is very important, so we hope the WVD team can update this issue quickly.

Thanks

  • 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.

    Is it also possible to redirect camera to the HTML5 version?

        Appreciate this is an old thread, but just found a curiosity during our POC. One of our PCs isn't exposing its audio/video devices through to the WVD. We're using version 1.2.1026.0(x64) and the same version is installed on two PCs. One PC, it works fine - the other; nothing.

        In Teams, Settings, Devices, all are grayed out. On the machine that works, the correct pass-thru devices are presented.

        We're connecting with the same test account to the same WVD device. I looked at the ETL files in Performance Analyzer, and on the machine that works, I see the following entry:

        Line #, Provider Name, Task Name, Opcode Name, Id, Process, Event Name, Cpu, ThreadId, Target (Field 1), FeatureFlag (Field 2), Value (Field 3), Field 4, Field 5, Field 6, Field 7, Field 8, Count, Time (s)
        20, , SetFeatureFlag, win:Info, 25, Unknown, SetFeatureFlag, 4, 27616, msrdc.exe, EnableMsRdcWebRTCAddIn, 1, , , , , , 1, 0.765054600

        That line is missing on the PC that doesn't it doesn't work on. Again, same client, same WVD device, same account.

        What's going on here?

      I changed my RPD setting and now the audio can be used at Teams on WVD (it wasn't support at Html and ipad yet), but I don't know how to setting the camera, can you test it at your environment. Thanks so much.  

      audiocapturemode:i:valueIndicates whether audio input/output redirection is enabled.- 0: Disable audio capture from the local device
      - 1: Enable audio capture from the local device and redirection to an audio application in the remote session

        Is there some updates about Teams video streaming?

        Now I can use the audio phone on WVD Teams and the camera could be used at WVD, but the Vedio phone on WVD Teams not available yet.

        Thanks

      Neil_HinnantThanks for your comment, I will check the setting of camera and audio redirection properties. And we hope u team can making improvements audio and video streaming to the Teams on WVD experience. Thanks so much.

      And I got some information from @Bill Bliss , please have a check.

      We only plan to support remote audio/video scenarios over VDI (Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure) solutions such as Citrix, VMware, and the forthcoming Microsoft Windows Virtual Desktop in Azure. We don't plan to support it over Windows Virtual Desktop. The RDP protocol wasn't really designed for this type of use case. Here's more information on Teams VDI support, although it's not a general purpose solution: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-for-vdi

        null null Do we use the per-user or per-machine mode to install Teams?  We will deploy FSLogics.

         

        Thanks
