MicrosoftWe have a fix in hand and are doing our due diligence to test it across all clients and host VM configurations. We've engaged Teams leadership on an accelerated release plan to get these features out the door asap. In addition to background blur, we'll be adding support for background replacement at the same time. We've also laid out a release plan for additional Teams on AVD features that will be delivered alongside background blur and background replacement. We'll share more about these plans towards the end of next week. Thank you for your patience.
Yun_Liu Hi, is there any update on potential dates for roll out of these features? Thank you!
- I would say that 90% of Teams running in Azure Virtual desktop will be optimized on Windows 10 multi-session image. Whats the road-map to get it working in this scenario?

- Thank you for the update and the quick responses! Any ETA on the give and take control for screensharing? That I believe is the next biggest hurdle, other than the overall audio and video stability.
- Yun_LiuWe have cleared all blockers for rolling out background blur and been testing a fix this week. We will have more extensive testing next week to ensure everything is ready to ship early in May. Along with background blur and background image replacement, we will also ship multi-window, which provides users the option to pop out chats, meetings, calls, or documents into separate windows to help streamline their workflow.
