Windows Virtual Desktops - Audio / Video Calls with Teams / Zoom

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with making and receiving both audio and video calls via Teams or Zoom when on a Windows Virtual Desktop VM?   How was the audio? Crisp and clear or ...

We've made improvements to Microsoft Teams for Windows Virtual Desktop. Most importantly, Windows Virtual Desktop now supports audio and video optimization for the Windows Desktop client. Redirection improves latency by creating direct paths between users when they use audio or video in calls and meetings. Less distance means fewer hops, which makes calls look and sound smoother.

    Do these same improvements apply to running Hyper-V with Teams installed on Guest VMs?  I experience a ~2 second gap between video and audio on Guest VMs running Teams.  I've read the article but don't really know what the "Session Host" is in a Hyper V Host OS / Guest OS scenario.

    I've also found that I can get the delay to go away if I transfer the call between Guest VMs by joining from Teams running in a different Guest VM and transferring the meeting to it when prompted by Teams; but this only works for a client that I have two VMs for.  Other clients just have one VM and it makes meetings awkward with such a large latency.

    You have made improvements but they don't work and support have no idea how to getting it working.

      Install Teams Machine wide.
      Install WebRTC driver.
      Access WVD from a supported client (ATM only Microsoft Remote Desktop Client on Windows 10 is supporterd)

        We recently move to WVD. We move to this environment, because Team and Zoon will work in WVD.

        But , We are very disappointed.   Non of the application worked. All the staff are very unhappy. System is very slow and chrome is keep crashing.
