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.

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.

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. These policies are active and enforced on non-optimized VDI environments.

As per Microsoft's own instructions to update this, you first have to uninstall the previous version. That does not sound like automatically updating to me. You also provided a version-specific link to a. EXE binary to download, when I'd specifically asked for the latest version of the.

MSI binary. It is all very well posting a link to the latest version at that very moment, but as I said to Massimo above, the whole point of the aka. I can only assume it wasn't meant that way when it was originally written and has translated poorly to text or you were super frustrated at the time.

Whilst I can appreciate your frustration at getting potentially unhelpful information. There is no reason to belittle someone based on their title. Remember that MVP's are admins, just like you. We don't work for Microsoft, we don't have a special "magic book" with everything in it next to us and we spend our free time helping individuals such as yourself for free in our own time.

Despite flags being set to remove features some weirdness still occurs. Your best bet then is going to be determining the build number based on an SOE machine in your environment, then downloading that version using the links Eric advised before.
