How to setup AVD, Windows 365 and RD host virtual machine configuration for best user experience?


The AVD clients integrated in RX540, RX580, RX420(RDP), RX440(RDP), RX-RDP+, LEAF OS and EX500W devices support the use of H.264/AVC encoding (Advanced Video Codec) in AVD, Windows 365 and RDP sessions. Using AVC ensures the best AVD, Windows 365 and RDP user session experience.

To take advantage of this H.264/AVC graphics mode, the following Group Policy setting must be enabled:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Session Environment: Prioritize H.264/AVC 444 graphics mode for Remote Desktop Connections

In simplest case, this Group Policy setting can be configured on the local machine with Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
