Note

• Teams optimizations when using Teams as a RemoteApp are only supported with Windows App for Windows (VDI 1.0 only). We don't support Teams optimizations on non-Windows endpoints when using Teams as a RemoteApp.

• When using Teams optimizations on Windows App on an iPhone, users might experience low audio output volume playing only from the earpiece speakers. Users are recommended to use Bluetooth headphones as a workaround. This doesn't affect iPad devices.

• You can find a more general list of Teams features that aren't supported on any VDI platform in the documentation for Microsoft Teams at Features not supported in VDI.

Version requirements

The following table lists the minimum required versions for each Teams feature. For optimal user experience on Teams for Azure Virtual Desktop, we recommend using the latest supported versions of each client along with the WebRTC Redirector Service installed on your session hosts.
