- KevinWheeler2024Brass ContributorDoes Windows 365 VMs leverage any GPU for better performance of UC apps like Teams and Zoom?
- JJGuirola
Microsoft
Windows 365 is optimized for application performance, to include M365 Apps and third party UC apps (e.g. Zoom). Here is a link that provides more details on this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/enterprise/app-overview. As for GPU, GPU support is not yet available in Windows 365. However, we recommend Azure Virtual Desktop for a persona with GPU requirements! Curious to know the number of users requiring GPU? And what is the average amount of time used on a daily basis?

For Windows 365 Government (GCC and GCCH), the Cloud PC resources all live in Microsoft Azure Government (GCCH). Similarly, the Custom Images you upload will be in the Microsoft Azure Government resources.- jeremymooneyCopper ContributorThis was a great AMA. Thanks for your time!
