How has your organization managed the 4.0 GHz processor requirement vs Zooms 2 GHz requirement?
Working remotely, due to COVID-19 thrust our organizational users to quickly adopt Microsoft Teams. Our larger meetings, video, or voice quality is compromised while using Teams on a VDI. A part of our organization had used Zoom on their VDI and experienced no issues. My theory is the processor requirement is the issue.
1. Have you experienced the issue?
2. Do you have a solution?

marthaowen what 4Ghz CPU requirement? I don't see anything mentioned other than 2 vCPU cores in the documentation at
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-for-vdi
The important factor for Teams performance is to have the right versions of Citrix, VMWare etc. configured to allow the client to offload the audio/video to the VDI client. The server is taken out of the processing for the latency sensitive media workload, and you'll get basically the browser experience for a meeting superimposed on the virtual desktop, as described in the diagram in the above document.
This was not about a GHz requirement but a number of cores recommendation. The https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-for-vdi document or others that I had previously found USED to says the recommended number of cores for Teams was 4. It's been awhile since I looked at it so I assumed it's changed but I'm positive that it used to say 4 was the recommended number in a virtual environment.
