Quality of the NDI implementation in Teams??

Copper Contributor

Greetings all,

 

I've seen some posts related to issues enabling NDI in Teams but no real solution to the issue so I'll make another try here. When I try to enable NDI in Teams I just get the same error referenced by others: "There was a problem downloading the file. Try turning on NDI again." 

 

When I first encountered the problem I changed machine and tried the same Teams account on that machine (a Windows 10, 2004) and NDI enabled without any issues. Then I went back to the first machine (Windows 10, 1909) and starting to some debugging, removed Teams, reinstalled Teams, deleted folder related to Teams etc. but nothing helped. I was about to give up when I tried to create a new clean user profile and then suddenly NDI could be enabled on my Teams account.

 

The log file shows the following when I enable NDI on my original user profile. Seems the error is related to the extraction of the file, not a failed downloaded of the file which the error message imply.

Anyone else ran into this that has found a solution?

 

The whole implementation of NDI in Teams feels shaky and unpredictable, nothing I'd expect in a Enterprise application like Teams.
