@Yun_Liu Do you have any idea when this feature will start rolling out again?

The team is investigating the issue. Not ETA on the release date yet. We will update on the main post when we have more information.

@Yun_Liu Teams on VDI is really turning out to be depressing rollout for all of our users. Users (and me frankly) cannot understand how an application from a 2 trillion dollar company can be this archaic and unrelaible.
Funny enough, Zoom on AVD works 20 times better than Teams. Whoever is managing Teams for VDI should be more transparent with us on the ongoing quality and reliability issues and what is being done to fix them and a timeline. Your partners are facing the customer feeling highly embarassed and in the position to cover for Microsoft's failure on this product.
Its really disgraceful.

We understand the frustration and apologize for not communicating as much. We are doing the due diligence to ensure when we release things will be better. No specific dates to announce yet but seems to be aligning to the first half of April.

@Yun_Liu I believe the update is trying to come through, but it's not updating. I've restarted Teams multiple times, logged out and back on within Teams and restarted the VDI. I continue to get this message.

@Yun_Liu Thanks for your response. But I don't have a "Report a Problem" option. See below. I selected "Give Feedback" but nothing happens.
