Using AI segmentation technology to digitally place participants in a shared background, Microsoft Teams puts all participants in the same auditorium. The user can control these modes during a conference call by selecting Gallery , Large gallery , or Together mode layouts in the ellipses menu.
Microsoft Teams relies on video-based screen sharing VBSS , effectively encoding the desktop being shared with video codecs like H and creating a high-definition stream. With HDX optimization, incoming screen sharing is treated as a video stream. Starting from Citrix Workspace app or higher for Windows, Linux or Mac, users can share their screens and video camera simultaneously. Instead, the screen sharing video feed shows.
The peer must then manually resume the camera sharing. In that case, other peers can still see your webcam and content and navigate back and forth to review other slides. In this scenario, the slides are rendered on the VDA. Outgoing screen sharing is also optimized and offloaded to Citrix Workspace app. Set specific permission in Citrix Workspace app for Mac to enable screen sharing.
For more information, see System Requirements. Citrix Workspace app minimum version is required. Starting with Citrix Workspace app for Windows To share a specific app:. Compatibility with app protection The screen sharing of a specific app is compatible with the app protection feature in HDX optimized Microsoft Teams. You can only select the Window option to share any open app. This feature is supported in the following versions of Citrix Workspace app there is no dependency on the VDA version or Operative System, single session or multisession :.
You can request control during a Microsoft Teams call when a participant is sharing the screen. Once you have control, you can make selections, edits, or other keyboard and mouse activities to the shared screen. To take control when a screen is being shared, click Request control button in the Microsoft Teams UI. While you have control, you can make selections, edits, and other modifications to the shared screen.
For these actions, you can use both keyboard and mouse. Give and Request control are not available if the user is sharing a single app also known as App sharing. The full desktop or monitor must be shared. When optimization for Microsoft Teams is active, the Citrix Workspace app accesses the peripherals headsets, microphones, cameras, speakers, and so forth.
Microsoft Teams does not access the devices directly. Instead, it relies on the Workspace app WebRTC media engine for acquiring, capturing, and processing the media. Microsoft Teams lists the devices for the user to select. After the peripheral is selected, Microsoft Teams caches the information of the peripherals. As a result, the peripherals are automatically selected when you reconnect to a session from the same endpoint.
Workspace app Mar 27 The legacy HDX technologies might be webcam redirection and client audio and microphone redirection. In fallback mode, the peripherals are mapped to the VDA. The peripherals appear to the Microsoft Teams app as if they were locally attached to the virtual desktop. You can now granularly control the fallback mechanism by setting the registry keys in the VDA. For information, see Microsoft Teams fallback mode in the list of features managed through the registry.
The webcam name has the Citrix HDX suffix as shown in the following graphic. The speaker and microphone device names might be slightly different or truncated when compared to the optimized mode.
Instead, HDX technologies use server-side rendering. Real-time audio performance might not be optimal.

Only the last four most active speakers appear on the screen and other participants do not appear on the grid.
A central conference server mixes and transcodes all audio or video to create a tailored composite layout for every participant.
This action introduces some additional latency. A single quality video stream. You can set the encoding resolution value on the client.
For more information, see Encoder performance estimator and Optimization for Microsoft Teams. Quality is defined as resolution and frames per second. Each participant gets up to four individual media streams. Each participant gets only a single stream for audio and video. This setting lowers the CPU consumption at the endpoint. When four participants are sharing video, the maximum resolution is p per video feed.
If fewer than four participants are sharing video, the resolution per video feed might be higher. Because of this condition, each sender reduces resolution or upload bitrate.
We recommend that you evaluate your environment to identify any risks and requirements that can influence your overall cloud voice and video deployment.
To learn more about how to prepare your network for Teams, see Prepare your organization's network for Teams. The chat and collaboration experience works as expected. When media is needed, there are some experiences that might not meet user expectations on the Chrome browser:. If your organization wants to only use chat and collaboration features in Teams, you can set user-level policies to turn off calling and meeting functionality in Teams.
You can set policies by using the Teams admin center or PowerShell. It up to a few hours for the policy changes to propagate. If you don't see changes for a given account immediately, try again in a few hours. Calling polices : Teams includes the built-in DisallowCalling calling policy, in which all calling features are turned off. Assign the DisallowCalling policy to all users in your organization who use Teams in a virtualized environment.
Meeting policies : Teams includes the built-in AllOff meeting policy, in which all meeting features are turned off. Assign the AllOff policy to all users in your organization who use Teams in a virtualized environment.
To assign the DisallowCalling calling policy and the AllOff meeting policy to a user:. If you have an existing implementation of Teams on VDI with chat and collaboration in which you had set user-level policies to turn off calling and meeting functionality, and you're migrating to Teams with AV optimization, you must set policies to turn on calling and meeting functionality for those Teams on VDI users.
You can use the Teams admin center or PowerShell to set and assign calling and meeting policies to your users. It can take some time a few hours for policy changes to propagate. If you don't see changes for a given account immediately, try again after a few hours. Calling polices : Calling policies in Teams control which calling features are available to users. Teams includes the built-in AllowCalling calling policy, in which all calling features are turned on.
To turn on all calling features, assign the AllowCalling policy. Or, create a custom calling policy to turn on the calling features that you want and assign it to users. Meeting policies : Meeting policies in Teams control the types of meetings that users can create and the features that are available to meeting participants that are scheduled by users in your organization. Teams includes the built-in AllOn meeting policy, in which all meeting features are turned on.
To turn on all meeting features, assign the AllOn policy. Or, create a custom meeting policy to turn on the meeting features that you want and assign it users. To assign the AllowCalling calling policy and the AllOn meeting policy to a user:. When users connect from an unsupported endpoint, the users are in fallback mode, in which AV isn't optimized.
To disable fallback mode, set the value to 1. To enable audio only, set the value to 2. If the value isn't present or is set to 0 zero , fallback mode is enabled. Teams VDI policies are available in the Teams module. It's important to understand the difference between these parameters. All users with admin credentials on the machine can uninstall Teams. This uninstalls Teams from the Program Files x86 folder or Program Files folder, depending on the operating system environment.
We recommend you make sure to update Teams at least once a month. To learn more about deploying the Teams desktop app, check out Deploy the Teams desktop app to the VM. If you're using a version of the Remote Desktop client for macOS that's earlier than If you're using the client for the first time and already have version After installing the WebSocket Service and the Teams desktop app, follow these steps to verify that Teams media optimizations loaded:.
If media optimizations loaded, the banner will show you Azure Virtual Desktop Media optimized. If the banner shows you Azure Virtual Desktop Media not connected , quit the Teams app and try again. If media optimizations loaded, the audio devices and cameras available locally will be enumerated in the device menu. If the menu shows Remote audio , quit the Teams app and try again.
