I had to take the help of a remote team mate as I had an issue with the os on the VM. When using teams, my team mate was unable to type out the commands in the vm. Is there a work-around for this ?

    Hi @Lp

    If you are unable to type commands in a Hyper-V virtual machine when using Microsoft Teams to control it, it may be caused by some limitations or settings in the virtualization environment. Here are some possible solutions:

    1. Check virtualization settings: Make sure that Hyper-V and the virtual machine are set up correctly. You can try to reconfigure the input device settings of the virtual machine.
    2. Update Teams and Hyper-V: Make sure you are using the latest version of Microsoft Teams and Hyper-V. Updates may fix some known issues.
    3. Use administrator privileges: Try running Teams and Hyper-V Manager as an administrator to ensure that you have sufficient privileges to operate.
    4. Check network connection: Make sure your network connection is stable, as unstable networks may cause input delays or loss.
    5. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) optimization: If you use Teams in a virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment, make sure that the appropriate optimization settings are enabled. Please refer to this reference.

    Thanks for your understanding and support.
