Teams via remote desktop cannot see local webcam
Good afternoon,
We use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection ver. 10.0.18362 to connect to our desktop pcs running on windows 10 1909.
When we run Teams from the remote computer, it will not find the built-in webcam from any laptop. It will, however, work if the local computer uses an external usb webcam. The built-in webcam works properly if we run teams directly from the laptop's local c:drive.
We have verified the camera settings in RDC, Teams on the remote system, and windows settings on the remote system.
Does anyone know if using Teams with RDC requires a specific port be opened for the camera to work with the remote teams app? Any ideas, tips, tricks, or fixes are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Brian D. Meer
