Here's what changed in January 2023:
Watermarking for Azure Virtual Desktop now in public preview
Watermarking for Azure Virtual Desktop is now in public preview for the Windows Desktop client. This feature protects sensitive information from being captured on client endpoints by adding watermarks to remote desktops. For more information, see our blog post or Watermarking in Azure Virtual Desktop.
Give or Take Control for macOS Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop now generally available
Version 1.31.2211.15001 of the WebRTC Redirector service includes support for Give or Take Control for macOS users. This version includes performance improvements for Give or Take Control on Windows. For more information, see Updates for version 1.31.2211.15001.
Microsoft Teams application window sharing on Azure Virtual Desktop now generally available
Previously, users could only share their full desktop windows or a Microsoft PowerPoint Live presentation during Teams calls. With application window sharing, users can now choose a specific window to share from their desktop screen and help reduce the risk of displaying sensitive content during meetings or calls. For more information, see our blog post.
Windows 7 End of Support
Starting January 10, 2023, Azure Virtual Desktop no longer supports Windows 7 as a client or host. We recommend upgrading to a supported Windows release. For more information, see our blog post.
