    My team worked with Microsoft for a few weeks to isolate why many could not see the "new experience". Our issue was rooted in our need to centrally deploy the software and a step required many months ago ... we adjusted the MSI through Orca to treat the target workstation as a virtual machine and so the VDIModeEnabled was set to true. The new experience is not available on VDIs.

     

    We isolated the VDI trigger to hklm\software\citrix and implemented a GPO to remove. The next step was to uninstall and reinstall Teams (the version that is not modified by Orca). We now have the new experience (set on by default).

     

    To find if VDI was set, you need to open the Teams app and generate the debug files by holding CTRL + ALT + Shift + 1. Check the downloads folder for the debug files. The main one (largest size) will have VDIModeEnabled.
