The endpoint decodes and renders the multimedia locally, moving the Citrix Workspace app window back into the hosted Microsoft Teams app.

Authentication and signaling occurs natively on the Microsoft Teams-hosted app, just like the other Microsoft Teams services for example chat or collaboration. We recommend installing the VDA before installing Teams in the golden image.

If the virtual machine had Teams installed before the VDA was installed, uninstall and reinstall Teams. If you are using App Layering, see the App Layering instructions at the end of this section for more details. We recommend you follow the Microsoft Teams machine-wide installation guidelines and avoid using the. All users can then uninstall Teams if they have administrator credentials. We recommend this mode for non-persistent environments. You have Windows 10 dedicated persistent VDI environments.

Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it. The following is an example of folders, desktop shortcuts, and registries created by installing Teams machine-wide installer on a Windows Server bit VM:.

When using the. The best practice recommendations are based on the use case scenarios. Using Teams with a non-persistent setup requires a profile caching manager for efficient Teams runtime data synchronization.

Having a profile caching manager ensures that the appropriate user-specific information for example, user data, profile, and settings is cached during the user session. Make sure you synchronize the data in these two folders:. Excluding these items helps reduce the user caching size to further optimize your non-persistent setup.

But will it work? I have tested many variants of wvd setups and this is my conclusion. Microsoft has built an internal channel for media between the Teams client in WVD and the Msrdc client in local Windows This channel gives the possibility to bypass the roundtrip that occur when using video and sound in Teams on WVD.

Instead of sending the camera images with msrdc to the wvd, in to teams, over to Microsoft Teams cloud. You can send it directly from msrdc client to the remote caller if you are in a Call. If you start a meeting with many participants, the traffic will not be directly towards the other remote hosts. But the media will go directly towards the Teams cloud and then distributed to all participants. An important thing to note is that the return channel will always be the Teams client in the WVD.

So the media optimization will mostly optimize your own media transmission. The receiving will how ever be offloaded from the sending witch will give some optimization in itself.

There are three components working together in this process. First the Teams client process that handles all the media signals for the call or meeting.

Finally the Remote desktop client msrdc that redirects media traffic directly towards remote call partners or Teams cloud. First, open the docs page about installing Teams on WVD to verify that nothing has changed lately. The process is otherwise not that complex:. To redirect audio and video devices correctly you also need to add three RDP client properties. This can be done in Azure portal on your host pool. Finally you can also configure Fallback. If a client is unable to use Media Optimizatons, what will happen.

I have not found any use for this yet, but who knows. This can be done both on computer level or for specific users by regkey. Teams media optimization is really a great benefit for users that make Calls to each other, and if they reside on the same LAN it is terrific! But when joining a Teams Meet, the effect is not that great. In fact, I did not feel or notice any performance or quality improvements when using Media Optimization in an Teams meeting. In fact, it was the other way around. When connecting to a meeting with Teams Media Optimization enabled I constantly had black small view of remote participants cameras.

Quite annoying. Without Teams media Optimization the small view works with quite good experience. In my test environment, I had two different sizes of machines. It performs great and give the user a much better experience when using media like you do in teams.

I have also done numerous tests in my test environment lastly, I have vacuumed the web and forums for people reporting issues. What I found was this:. Right now the Media Optimization will bring better user experience when using it for calls.
