NVIDIA Broadcast does not show up on Azure Virtual Desktop with Teams optimization

According to this page:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/teams-on-avd#install-teams-on-session-hosts:~:text=If%20media%20optimizations%20loaded%2C%20the%20audio%20devices%20and%20cameras%20available%20locally%20will%20be%20enumerated%20in%20the%20device%20menu.

The client cameras would be enumerated in Teams device menu, within the remote desktop session.

While all my audio devices are enumerated there and therefore Teams optimizations is enabled and working, I can only select my Logitech camera. There is no option to select other cameras like NVIDIA Broadcast or OBS Studio virtual camera, like the Teams app would allow if connected directly in the client machine.

    FYI - I have a user who is also facing this issue and I have raised an "idea" for it on the AVD feedback forum.

    Looks like the feature was implemented, as this is now working for me.

    In the Teams about section, it now shows "AVD SlimCore Media Optimized" and I can select any camera from my host, including the OBS Studio and NVIDIA Broadcast ones.
