    Are there going to be more user settings added to the User settings, in the Windows 365 blade? e.g. A User setting to Block External Storage from connecting, or a User setting to block copy and paste.

    It was great to see Windows 365 being promoted at Envision using Samsung DeX - it also works brilliantly on Motorola Ready For, Zebra Workforce Connect and even using Android Desktop mode in Android 10 and later and makes a highly cost effective, low energy consumption and carbon emission, especially as an alternative for desktop PCs.

    Can you provide carbon footprint details for each of the Windows 365 Cloud PC SKUs?

      Environmental sustainability information is something we're looking into but have no timeframe. Can you provide more details about your goals or needs for such details?

        So there are other cloud PC services which are completely carbon neutral - through offsetting and use of renewables etc. As sustainability is such a key consideration these days, when talking to customers about cloud PC services, if I can't quantify the footprint of Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop, it's difficult to recommend it when a customer points to another Cloud PC service that is carbon neutral? For enterprise customers, it makes it much more difficult to determine their emissions if they are unable to report on this?

    I just recently started using Windows 365 VMs. On a Windows 11 device; how do you connect the "switch apps" to a W365 VM?

    Hey, what would be the new features for deploying W11? Or still everything applies the same as it was for W10? Thanks.

    Looking forward to the AMA!

    • When will you be able to share tech details/timelines on W365 Boot?
    • Will W365 Boot support WHfB and MS Authenticator to connect/unlock our W365 sessions?
    • Any plans to support DR scenarios, such as failover to a secondary region?
    • What is best practice for keeping Teams updated on W365? Machine wide installer or deploy/update Teams along with M365 Apps for Enterprise?

      Heather_Poulsen can you ask my question re DR scenarios for W365 please? In AVD we can spin up in multiple regions, how might this be solved in W365?
