Configuring Microsoft Teams for Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) – Ryan Mangan's IT Blog.
Efficient data synchronization ensures that the appropriate user-specific information such as a user's data, profile, or settings is cached during the user's session. Make sure data in these two folders are synced:. A roaming folder or, if you are using folder redirection, a caching manager is required to ensure that the Teams app has the runtime data and files required to run the application.
This is necessary to mitigate network latency issues or network glitches, which would otherwise cause application errors and a slow experience due to unavailable data and files.
There are a variety of caching manager solutions available, such as FSLogix. Consult your caching manager provider for specific configuration instructions. Excluding these items helps reduce the user caching size to further optimize your non-persistent setup.
Before you deploy Teams through Microsoft Apps for enterprise, you must first uninstall any pre-existing Teams apps if they were deployed using per-machine installation.
Teams through Microsoft Apps for enterprise is installed per-user. Teams is also being added to existing installations of Microsoft Apps for enterprise. Microsoft Apps for enterprise doesn't support per-machine installations of Teams. To use per-machine installation, you must exclude Teams from Microsoft Apps for enterprise. To learn more about Teams and Microsoft Apps for enterprise, see How to exclude Teams from new installations of Microsoft Apps for enterprise and Use Group Policy to control the installation of Teams.
At this point, the golden image setup is complete. This process adds a required registry key to the machine that lets the Teams installer know it is a VDI instance. Without it, the installer will error out, stating: "Installation has failed. Cannot install for all users when a VDI environment is not detected. All users can then uninstall Teams if they have admin credentials. PowerShell script : You can use the Teams deployment cleanup PowerShell script to uninstall Teams and remove the Teams folder for a user.
Run the script for each user profile in which Teams was installed on the computer. There are a variety of virtualized setup configurations, each with a different focus for optimization.
For example, a configuration might focus on user density. When planning, consider the following to help optimize your setup based on your organization's workload needs. In addition to chat and collaboration, Teams on VDI with calling and meetings is available with supported virtualization provider platforms. Supported features are based on the WebRTC media stack and virtualization provider implementation. The following diagram provides an overview of the architecture.
If you currently run Teams without AV optimization in VDI and you use features that are not supported yet for optimization such as Give and take control when app sharing , you have to set virtualization provider policies to turn off Teams redirection.
This means that Teams media sessions won't be optimized. For steps on how to set policies to turn off Teams redirection, contact your virtualization provider. We recommend that you evaluate your environment to identify any risks and requirements that can influence your overall cloud voice and video deployment.

What do you think about using redirection to lower the size of profiles? Another person recommends something like this in a file then redirect via GPO call to the file. The concept of a profile stored in a virtual disk, is to facilitate the ability to detach the user profile data from the underlining OS. In most cases, yes. This enables the flexibility of this data roaming with the user in the format of a mountable vDisk.
Yes redirecting reduces the profile size, but for what reason? Moving the data to the local profile local disk. What would be the impact….. Reduction of disk space on the OS local disk possibly performance issues? Meaning the data stored locally is temporary as long as you have configured the XML file correctly. Design and sizing of the local disk is important, as well as understanding what would be beneficial for redirection.
When you look at the significate reduction in profile size by redirecting teams to a temporary local profile. This should be tested as there may be user experience changes due to the teams data being temporary.
I Ryan, in your opinion, this configuration could be used with classic RDP as well? We have people at home connected to their pc in the office. But when a call is made via a PSTN line, the call is received in Teams remoteapp but when answered, there is no call media as in no voice is heard. Is there any additional configuration that is required for voice call over PSTN?
