What is Microsoft Teams Optimization and how can I enable it in VERDE VDI sessions?
Microsoft Teams optimization refers to techniques and
features designed to enhance the performance and user experience of Microsoft
Teams, particularly in virtualized environments like Azure Virtual Desktop
(AVD), Citrix, Omnissa, and VERDE VDI. The optimization aims to reduce resource
usage, improve call quality, and ensure smooth operation, especially in
scenarios where bandwidth or processing power might be limited.
- In LEAF OS endpoints, including the EX500 and EX500W thin clients, Microsoft Teams optimization is supported in VERDE VDI from firmware version 6.5.503 and higher.
- For RX thin clients, specifically the RX540 and RX580 models, Microsoft Teams optimization is supported in VERDE VDI sessions starting from firmware version 6.5.503 and higher.
The following instructions summarize the necessary
configurations to enable the Microsoft Teams optimization for VERDE VDI on LEAF
OS endpoints, EX500, EX500W, RX540, and RX580 thin clients.
Server-Side Configuration
Configuration on VERDE Gold

o Obtain the 'teamsbootstrapper.exe' and
'MSTeams-x64.msix' files appropriate for your system.
o Open Command Prompt as Administrator and
navigate to the folder containing the downloaded files.
o Run the following command:
.\teamsbootstrapper.exe -p -o
"c:\path\to\teams.msix"
o Once you see the message 'success: true', Teams
should be installed successfully on the VERDE Gold Image with optimization
support.
· Reboot the Gold Image once installation is
complete, then shut it down.
· Check-In the Gold Image.
Client-Side Configuration
· Microsoft Teams Optimization is supported for
VERDE VDI on LEAFOS and RX540/RX580 firmware version 6.5.503 and above.
