Regarding Teams Meeting Media Transport Behavior in VDI Optimization Scenario
Hello Microsoft Teams Engineering Team,
I am currently working on a Browser Content Redirection / media offload implementation for a VDI environment, where WebRTC media transport is handled through a local native component while the Teams application continues running inside the virtual desktop session.
While testing, I observed that:
1:1 calls successfully receive audio and video media
But in meetings auido / video RTP is never forwarded despite successful ICE, DTLS, and SRTP establishment
DTLS ApplicationData traffic is present during meetings, suggesting DataChannel/SCTP activity
Based on transport-level observations, it appears that Teams meetings may rely on SCTP/DataChannel communication for SFU video subscription management, while 1:1 calls do not require the same subscription flow.
I wanted to ask whether:
Teams meeting video forwarding depends on active bidirectional SCTP/DataChannel connectivity
Meeting video subscriptions are expected to be coordinated over the WebRTC data channel/control plane
Split ownership of media transport and control-plane transport could affect expected Teams meeting behavior in VDI optimization scenarios
Thank you for your time and guidance.
