@@AzureAcademy Trying to deploy on our Azure session hosts we run through Nerdio. When we install using the bootstrapper on the golden image, Teams usually won't open for users on the session host. We've created Microsoft support tickets and no luck so far. Any ideas?
Calls keen dropping randomly in Citrix on windows 11 multi session when using the slimcore and latest slimcore/teams client available to general public. Not an issue with webrtc. Slimcore on the endpoint crashes. I had high hopes for it working flawlessly but right not it’s so unstable. Some calls will happily last 30 mins without issue and then others 5 mins and disconnect
Hi Dean, Great video as ever. As an IT manager for a MSP I have to say I'm not impressed with the new teams within VDI. We have encounter numerous issues upgrading to new teams on server 2019 citrix vdas even with the latest fslogix update. We have seen issues with the outlook addin missing and having to run powershell scripts on the vdi ms page to get it to appear for all users. We have so seen issues with it not showing for users at all in their start menu and being unable to search for it. We have had to rename the fslogix profile. Old and give them new profiles for it to appear. Very clunky it seems at the moment...the installer needs a lot more work to make this a seamless transition.
Thanks Dean, great video as usual. just a suggestion to do a video about pre and post events/scripts of new Azure Update Manager. Especially since both Automation Update Management and the Log Analytics agent it uses will be retired on 31 August 2024.
I am trying to publish New Teams as a RemoteApp and have been using Nerdio's workaround, which partially works. However, I have encountered an issue where the video camera will not work when using RemoteApp, even though Teams shows "AVD SlimCore Media Optimized". Is there a Microsoft supported way of publishing New Teams as a RemoteApp? I've had a ticket open for several weeks and Microsoft support seems to be lost on this one. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Are there any troubleshooting steps when SlimCore doesn't install automatically? We are stuck on it only showing the legacy AVD Optimization. Logging in and out does not work, and neither does quitting Teams/restarting the VM.
Like I mentioned in the video make sure you have setup the teams policy and that you are not blocking the CDN. If those are ok the I suggest opening a ticket with teams support
The new teams is not a normal app it is a windows UWP app…they don’t get start menu icons all the time. Easy thing to do is open new teams on 1 VM then see the path to the icon, then create a remote app from a file path and tell it which icon to use with a file path
Yes it is learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/publish-applications-stream-remoteapp?tabs=portal#add-applications-to-a-remoteapp-application-group Go to the section for file paths
@@AzureAcademy I did, it specifically said to choose the .exe path. You had mentioned opening up one of the host VMs, running teams, and locating the icon path. Where is THAT process described, or more specically any guidance on publishing new Teams specifically.
I guess im not understanding how the upgrade install works on VDI. Once you set the policy the version just changes? is it already installed in newer versions of classic and its just a flip? Our AVD environments have classic installed, machine wide iirc Also any features that arent in New Teams on VDI but on Classic? I recall a list of features not in New Teams but now the article just has a list of features not in either versions (in VDI)
You can’t upgrade without the policy. The policy will tell classic teams client to upgrade/download the UWP new teams client in background The next time they log in the new teams will take over. Now…i haven’t seen features from classic that don’t work in new…tell me what you find
@@AzureAcademy so it's a per user install? If I add my test account and log into a pool will that break the current classic teams for other users on the host
The classic teams install in AVD is device based not user based…since my policy was set for all users and all devices…I’m not 100% sure about your question
@@AzureAcademy No this is the Call Redirection feature in Multimedia redirection. Requires a browser extension to work. It's in the docs and has been a preview feature now for as long as I can remember haha!
I don’t think there is. Teams policies are assigned to users…so a user would be assigned to the new teams, which would cause the change in all their devices…
The NEW Teams DOES work for on Azure Stack VDI which is AVD on prem, from everything I read, but I haven’t tried it…as for other VDI services…I don’t have a lab of those to test…so try it and let us all know ☺️
Step by Step for NEW Teams...everything I showed in this video is the step by step! It's super easy! #1 update your policy #2 users sign into teams (get the policy) #3 the NEXT time users open Teams, the policy is in effect and they are running on NEW Teams
new level of bugs and lags.
What problems have you had so far?

Wow…that is a new one…what does NERDIO say about this…since it CLEARLY works in AVD without NERDIO???

Great video sir as usual. Quick question: Do I still need to add teams details in fslogix redirection xml file? Thank you
You do not have to. Classic teams cache would take up 5GB per user. New teams cache is about 300-500mb. So no real need to redirect it
Does end-user need to have local admin rights on session host for slim core package to be installed automatically ?
no local admin rights needed...far as I know. The permissions are pushed from the Teams Admin Center
I have also not seen any guidance on using new Teams under AVD Remote Apps. The old teams used to show up as a Menu item, but the new teams does not.
The new teams is not a normal app it is a windows UWP app…they don’t get start menu icons all the time. Easy thing to do is open new teams on 1 VM then see the path to the icon, then create a remote app from a file path and tell it which icon to use with a file path
@@AzureAcademy Thanks, is that documented on Learn at all?
Yes it is
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/publish-applications-stream-remoteapp?tabs=portal#add-applications-to-a-remoteapp-application-group
Go to the section for file paths
@@AzureAcademy I did, it specifically said to choose the .exe path. You had mentioned opening up one of the host VMs, running teams, and locating the icon path. Where is THAT process described, or more specically any guidance on publishing new Teams specifically.
With the file path method you can run ANYTHING that is on the VM…the icon path can point to ANY icon on the VM

When is WebRTC Call Redirection going GA? This has been in Preview for literally years! This is big for us.
You mean TEAMS A/V Redirection…thought it already was GA…?
@@AzureAcademy No this is the Call Redirection feature in Multimedia redirection. Requires a browser extension to work. It's in the docs and has been a preview feature now for as long as I can remember haha!
Oh…I don’t have a date for that one
Is there a way for me to deploy this ONLY to the AVDs, but keep the users' primary workstations unaffected?
I don’t think there is. Teams policies are assigned to users…so a user would be assigned to the new teams, which would cause the change in all their devices…
Hello dean i have ordered the book written by you may i know that include all lab with practicals
Awesome! Please write a review on Amazon as well to help promote the book 👍
Wasn't it a game changer from the beginning? When will it support 2-way sms?
Not sure about that…it isn’t a feature I ever saw in demand for a VDI environment
Works for on prem VDI too?
The NEW Teams DOES work for on Azure Stack VDI which is AVD on prem, from everything I read, but I haven’t tried it…as for other VDI services…I don’t have a lab of those to test…so try it and let us all know ☺️
@@AzureAcademy thank you!
Anytime
Please tell me how to install new teams to avd multi session image ....
Possibly if you create different TEAMS policy and assign it to the group that relates to just those users…who don’t have another policy assignment
@@AzureAcademy if possible please make step by step installation video.

new is that not an old feature🤩 ... sorry Boss if I'm wrong ... Walter asked me to post this 🤣🤣
The NEW Teams isn’t new…exactly, but all the updates to VDI with the NEW Teams are new…if that makes sense
@@AzureAcademy 😁Yes...I just told Walter to go back to his naughty corner.
🙌 🤣 LOL
@@AzureAcademy 🤣
👍☺️👍
Nice video for Azure admins. The new MS Teams is still a a pretty bad piece of software
Tell me about it...?
Faster...yes. Half of the Memory....not sure!!!!
It really does…compare them in task manager
New teams is terrible on vdi, no real optimization ability
How much more could you optimize it?!?!? You are king for a day…what do you want to do that you can’t with it?
Great title 😁 And super interesting. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks!
