Enabling Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams

This section contains instructions for enabling Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams. Instructions for Zoom are available in Enabling Media Optimization for Zoom.

Agent Setup

On Omnissa (VMware) Horizon Agent 8 2212 or later, Media Optimization is controlled by means of a registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware WebRTCRedir” teamsEnabled (REG_DWORD). This registry key is created at the time of agent installation, and its value is set to 1. This turns on Media Optimization by default.

Deploying the Teams App on the Agent

  1. Download the Teams App that matches your VM operating system from the Microsoft Teams Page.

  2. Run the following command:

    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" /v IsWVDEnvironment /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

This process adds the registry key to the agent, and sets its value to "1".

  1. Install Microsoft Teams by running the following command:

    msiexec /i "C:\Users\autolaab300\Downloads\Teams_windows_x64.msi" /l*v "msteams.log" ALLUSER=1 ALLUSERS=1

Client Setup

For Media Optimization of Microsoft Teams, no configuration is required on client machines. The redirection-related files are already contained installed on the Trusted Zero Client.

Ensure that the files are present in the SDK package.
